Dexter Gordon • A Day in Copenhagen

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):

Unlike many other American expatriates living in Europe, tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon always managed to play and record with the top musicians while overseas. This excellent sextet session (with trombonist Slide Hampton, trumpeter Dizzy Reece, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Art Taylor) finds him exploring three Slide Hampton compositions and a trio of standard ballads. The other soloists are fine but Gordon easily dominates the set, playing his brand of hard-driving bop.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):

A diferencia de muchos otros expatriados americanos que vivían en Europa, el saxofonista tenor Dexter Gordon siempre logró tocar y grabar con los mejores músicos en el extranjero. Esta excelente sesión de sexteto (con el trombonista Slide Hampton, el trompetista Dizzy Reece, el pianista Kenny Drew, el bajista Niels Pedersen y el baterista Art Taylor) lo encuentra explorando tres composiciones de Slide Hampton y un trío de baladas estándar. Los otros solistas están bien pero Gordon fácilmente domina el set, tocando su estilo de bop contundente.
