Description
Recorded just two days after his acclaimed Go! session, Dexter Gordon’s A Swingin’ Affair captures the tenor giant in peak creative form. Joined once again by Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, Gordon delivers a relaxed yet commanding hard-bop set defined by his lyrical phrasing and inventive improvisational voice. The quartet’s deep rapport energizes every moment, making this album a quintessential Blue Note classic.
