Dexter Gordon – One Flight Up (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded during Gordon's celebrated European exile, One Flight Up captures a tenor giant fully at home in Copenhagen's thriving jazz scene, far from the commercial pressures of the American market. The album's centerpiece, "Tanya," stretches past thirteen minutes and shows Gordon operating in a zone of unhurried authority that only someone living completely inside the music can reach.
Dexter Gordon had been living in Europe for several years when he recorded One Flight Up, one of his masterpieces, in Paris in 1964. It's all here: Dexter's magnificently huge sound, Donald Byrd in peak form on trumpet, the sophistication of pianist Kenny Drew, the brilliance of the then-teenaged bass phenom Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson and the rock-steady swing of drummer Art Taylor. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
