Dexter Gordons mid-60s period living in Europe also meant coming back to the
U.S. for the occasional recording session. His teaming with Bobby Hutcherson was
intriguing in that the vibraphonist was marking his territory as a maverick and
challenging improviser. Here the two principals prove compatible in that they
have a shared sense of how to create sheer beauty in a post-bop world. Add the
brilliant Barry Harris to this mix, and that world is fortunate enough to hear
these grand masters at their creative peak, stoked by equally extraordinary
sidemen like bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Billy Higgins, all on loan from
Lee Morgans hitmaking combo. The subtle manner in which Gordon plays melodies or
caresses the most recognizable standard has always superseded his ability to
ramble through rough-and-tumble bebop. Its hard to resist how Gordon massages
the light and sweet bossa nova Manha de Carnaval hand in hand with Hutcherson,
the heartfelt way Who Can I Turn To? or Everybodys Somebodys Fool is turned into
a personalized statement, or how the co-leaders take Frank Fosters Count Basie
staple, Shiny Stockings, beyond a classic and into immortal territory. Where
Gordon and Hutchersons true strength lies is in their ability to listen and
balance their sound into a unified whole beyond any other tenor sax-vibraphone
combination you might care to name, unless its Hutchs partnership in the ensuing
years with Harold Land. Picking up on a Sonny Rollins idea, Heartaches is a
loping cowboy-type swinger with some lustrous comping from Hutcherson and
Harris, while the light, cat-prancing Le Coiffeur is the highlight among
highlights, a stealth calypso with Gordons deftly rendered staccato notation.
One has to listen closer to the pianist on this date, as he buoys the others
without demanding equal space, but he is just as reverberant. While this is not
Gordons ultimate hard bop date, it is reflective of his cooling out in Europe,
adopting a tonal emphasis more under the surface than in your face. Its not
essential, but quite enjoyable, and does mark a turning point in his illustrious
career. [The CD version contains two bonus tracks, including the Onzy Matthews
composition Very Saxily Yours with a melody very similar to Shiny Stockings,
Hutcherson alone during a second chorus, and a classy quarter-to-eighth note
solo by Gordon. Ben Tuckers Flick of a Trick is added on, an 11-minute groove
blues that lets Harris cut loose, digging in after-hours style.]~Michael G.
