Unlike many other American expatriates living in Europe, tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon always managed to play and record with the top musicians while overseas. This excellent sextet session (with trombonist Slide Hampton, trumpeter Dizzy Reece, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Art Taylor) finds him exploring three Slide Hampton compositions and a trio of standard ballads. The other soloists are fine but Gordon easily dominates the set, playing his brand of hard-driving bop.

A cool collection of work from one of our favorite artists ever – literally one of the guys whose music was so great. The package brings together a really hip assortment of Roy Ayers’ best work for Polydor in the 70s – really incredible tracks that merge together jazz, soul, and funk at a level that nobody else can touch – not just the sum of the parts, but a sublime fusion that’s completely Ayers-like, and which has gone onto inspire countless other folks over the years – even though nobody else can ever do it this well!

This is a well-thought out jam-packed compilation of saxophonist/arranger Tom Scott's heaviest funk jams from his GRP years in the 80s-90s. Scott's cohorts on these tracks are some of the biggest jazz/studio cats ever assembled under one roof! The GRP 'sound' is an ultra shiny/brash full digital assault with a powerful low end that fully exploits Scott's super-edgey horn sound and the bombastic bass and drums.
