Tenor-saxophonist
Dexter Gordon
uplifts four warhorses (a cooking
"Secret Love,"
"Polkadots and Moonbeams," "The Shadow of Your Smile" and "Summertime") in lengthy and creative renditions. This live set from Stockholm, Sweden finds
Gordon
joined by an excellent Swedish rhythm section (pianist
Lars Sjosten
, bassist
Sture Nordin
and drummer
Fredrik Noren
) on an excellent LP of fairly explorative bop. ~ Scott Yanow
