The acclaim that met Dexter Gordon when he returned to the United States after
14 years in Europe was completely unexpected. Not only did the jazz critics
praise the great tenor but there were literally lines of young fans waiting to
see his performances. This double CD, recorded during his historic first
American tour, improved on the original double LP with the inclusion of
previously unreleased versions of Fried Bananas and Body and Soul. Gordon -- in
a quintet with trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Stafford
James, and drummer Louis Hayes -- frequently sounds exuberant on these lengthy
performances; eight of the ten songs are at least 11 minutes long. The
excitement of the period can definitely be felt in this excellent music.
