Title: Not doin' So Good
Product review: In the context of his best (and later work), even with a young Freddie Hubbard, this is an uninspiring rendition of the musical giant that Dexter is. I am a lover of and collector of his music, and this one goes to the bottom of the heap.I read the lavish reviews of others and then listened to the CD again in order to make sure I was not missing something. I wasn't: This CD is a plain vanilla version of the Dexter Gordon I know. Gordon is a "heavyweight." But here he is obviously "coasting" through an obligatory recording session. And the music "tells."Gordon purist, save your money. Two stars.
