Most of these nine tunes were recorded between 1962 and 1965, with one cut, the
final one, taken from a very late date in 1985 with John McLaughlin, Herbie
Hancock, Billy Higgins, and Pierre Michelot. Over the course of his career in
jazz, Dexter Gordon became one of its greatest balladeers. These tunes, all
standards save one original, showcase him in wonderfully intimate settings,
allowing his true singing voice on the horn to shine through and express complex
emotions through fairly simple arrangements. Serenade in Blue opens the set, and
Gordon croons to Sir Charles Thompsons light-fingered chords and ostinati. On
Stairway to the Stars, with Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke, and Michelot, Gordon digs
into the melody and paints it with deep, resonant colors. The lone Gordon
composition, Jodi, with Freddie Hubbard, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins, is
full of Dexs trademark tenderness and gentleness. This is a beautifully
sequenced selection, one that plays to the saxophonists greatest strength. ~
