Dexter Gordon • The Jumpin' Blues

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
Although tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon seemed to have been largely forgotten in the U.S. during his long residence in Europe, he was playing in prime form during the period and made occasional trips back to America. On this CD reissue, Gordon teams up with pianist Wynton Kelly (one of his last recordings), bassist Sam Jones and drummer Roy Brooks for an obscure original ("Evergreenish"), "The Jumpin' Blues," the veteran ballad "For Sentimental Reasons" and three songs that were long a part of Gordon's repertoire: "Star Eyes," "Rhythm-A-Ning" and "If You Could See Me Now." Dexter Gordon is in fine form on the excellent straightahead bop set.

Aunque el saxofonista tenor Dexter Gordon parecía haber sido olvidado en gran medida en los Estados Unidos durante su larga residencia en Europa, estaba tocando en plena forma durante ese período y hacía viajes ocasionales a América. En esta reedición en CD, Gordon forma equipo con el pianista Wynton Kelly (una de sus últimas grabaciones), el bajista Sam Jones y el batería Roy Brooks para un oscuro original ("Evergreenish"), "The Jumpin' Blues", la veterana balada "For Sentimental Reasons" y tres canciones que formaron parte del repertorio de Gordon durante mucho tiempo: "Star Eyes", "Rhythm-A-Ning" y "If You Could See Me Now". Dexter Gordon está en plena forma en este excelente set de bop directo.
