About

Elemental Music presents a complete previously unissued quartet performance by the great Dexter Gordon. This astonishing concert marked Gordon's first appearance ever in Japan, backed by an all-star rhythm section consisting of Kenny Drew on piano, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen on bass and Albert Tootie Heath on drums. <p>The album includes a 16-page booklet containing special essays by famed jazz producer Michael Cuscuna & by Dexter's widow Maxine Gordon. It is presented simultaneously on vinyl and CD (the CD version contains 2 bonus tracks, also previously unreleased). It is far more than an archival and collectable record. It is greatly entertaining music endorsed with a 4 stars review by Downbeat on the October 2018 edition.
