Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Un disque évident, si l'on pense que le saxophoniste Dexter Gordon, vraie force de la nature et maître du swing, était aussi un dieu de la ballade. Son phrasé décalé et ses notes généreuses étaient sa marque de fabrique, de même que son style à la fois viril et nonchalant qui en avait impressionné plus d'un , à commencer par John Coltrane. Ces ballades nous rappellent à quel point cet exilé (qui partit au Danemark puis revint à New York en 1976) était un véritable poète du saxophone. --Eric Frank

the glory of the deep,

This review is from: Ballads (Audio CD)
This is by far, the most wonderful album recorded by any saxphonist great in time. Dexter Gordon certainly had an eye to his best performance in the choices of cuts to meet the sinfully moving, slurring and sassy, very senuous slow motion where he absolutely spectacular. He specializes in slow and drawing the music from below. This album is not for the faint-hearted. I imagine that he has closed those eyes of his and saw heaven through pursed lips, knowing that such a place must be a divine gift.He is there and he enjoins you to come hither. He reaches so far down that it just resonates in your toes. This is my 7th purchase of the CD. I give to people who I love and never fall asleep with out it.

Absolutely the best of Dex!,
By Rachel Wanne (Ojai, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ballads (Audio CD)
I am an avid jazz fan, and am in the jazz business. I have also had thousands of jazz albums and CDs in my time. And, well this one rates as one of the best albums in jazz history. This is a collection, though, and all the music can be found on other albums, but I must admit it is a fabulous collection. Another album that is a must have is Dexters album "Lullaby for a Monster" if you don't have it, get it. It is pure genous, Dex at his very best. His compositions are creative and his improv is the best I've ever heard. It is so good it is hard to tell where the tune ends and the improv begins. Other killer Dex CDs to check out are: Biting the apple, Something Different, Clubhouse, and Come Rain or Come Shine. Another classic tenor album in this style is Soul Station by Hank Mobley. Sorry for all the recomendations, but its taken me a lot of listening to come to these conclusions and just wanted to pass along my opinion.
