Dexter Gordon – The Blue Note Collection – 4CD

Featuring Dexter Gordon's seven Blue Note albums recorded between 1961 and 1964, this four CD set also includes the great man's 1960 Jazzland album, The Resurgence of Dexter Gordon - in many respects a pre-cursor to his renaissance with Blue Note. With contributions from 1960s jazz royalty - from Freddie Hubbard and Kenny Drew to Sonny Clark and Bud Powell - this collection provides a superb introduction to the best music produced by Dexter Gordon, as well as a welcome reminder of this pioneering musician's finest hour.
