Dexter Gordon • Clubhouse

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Although tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon had moved to Europe in 1962, he made a return visit to the U.S. in 1965 that resulted in both this album and Gettin' Around. Gordon teams up with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Billy Higgins for three of his originals, two obscurities, and a standard that ended up being the date's most memorable performance: "I'm a Fool to Want You." It is excellent music if not quite essential.

One of the enduring mysteries of Blue Note history is that superb sessions such as Dexter Gordon’s Clubhouse (recorded in 1965) remained unreleased in the vault until the late 1970s. Recorded during the middle of Gordon’s “golden period” career renaissance after he signed with Blue Note in 1961, the tenor saxophone legend is joined by Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and the remarkable rhythm section of Barry Harris on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and the great Billy Higgins on drums. Long Tall Dexter’s rendition of the Sinatra evergreen “I’m a Fool To Want You” stands as one of his all-time greatest ballad performances.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Aunque el saxofonista tenor Dexter Gordon se había mudado a Europa en 1962, hizo una visita de regreso a los EE.UU. en 1965 que resultó tanto en este álbum como en Gettin' Around. Gordon se une al trompetista Freddie Hubbard, al pianista Barry Harris, al bajista Bob Cranshaw y al baterista Billy Higgins para tres de sus originales, dos obscuridades y un estándar que terminó siendo la actuación más memorable de la cita: "Soy un tonto por Quererte."Es una música excelente, si no del todo esencial.

Uno de los misterios perdurables de la historia de Blue Note es que sesiones magníficas como Dexter Gordon's Clubhouse (grabada en 1965) permanecieron inéditas en la bóveda hasta finales de la década de 1970. Grabada durante la mitad del renacimiento de la carrera del "período dorado" de Gordon después de firmar con Blue Note en 1961, la leyenda del saxofón tenor se une a Freddie Hubbard a la trompeta y la notable sección rítmica de Barry Harris al piano, Bob Cranshaw al bajo y el gran Billy Higgins a la batería. La interpretación de Long Tall Dexter de la perenne "I'm a Fool To Want You" de Sinatra se erige como una de sus mejores interpretaciones de baladas de todos los tiempos.
