1	Go! (1962) more music like this by Dexter Gordon From the first moments when Dexter Gordon sails into the opening song full of brightness and confidence, it is obvious that Go! is going to be one of those albums where everything just seems to come together magically. A stellar quartet including the stylish pianist Sonny Clark, the agile drummer Billy Higgins, and the solid yet flexible bassist ... see all copies from $4.44! new only from $9.62!
2	Bebop Spoken Here [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Anyone wanting to dive into the world of jazz would do very well to check out this and the many other stellar box sets put out by England's Proper label. Showing how it should be done in the compilation game, the label packs this four-disc set with prime material and a 56-page booklet that includes extensive notes, a detailed sessionography, and ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $18.96!
3	The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ( ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $17.98!
4	Jazzy Wonderland (1990) more music like this by Various Artists This Christmas jazz CD contains 14 performances, a dozen of them not available on other sets. The two exceptions are Tony Bennett's 1987 "White Christmas" (which contains one of tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon's last recordings, a brief and weak statement) and Wynton Marsalis's "Winter Wonderland." Other musicians who are featured include Harry ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.18!
5	Dexter Calling... (1961) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded seven Blue Note albums during 1960-1964, and all are easily recommended. The power and creativity he showed during those performances led to his first successful comeback and display him in prime form. Dexter Calling. . . showcases the distinctive tenor with a quartet that also includes pianist Kenny Drew, ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $11.13!
6	Homecoming: Live at the Village Vanguard (1976) more music like this by Dexter Gordon The acclaim that met Dexter Gordon when he returned to the United States after 14 years in Europe was completely unexpected. Not only did the jazz critics praise the great tenor but there were literally lines of young fans waiting to see his performances. This double CD, recorded during his historic first American tour, improved on the original ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $17.76!
7	Our Man in Paris (1963) more music like this by Dexter Gordon This 1963 date is titled for Dexter Gordon's living in self-imposed Parisian exile and recording there with two other exptriates and a French native. Along with Gordon, pianist Bud Powell and Kenny "Klook" Clarke were living in the City of Lights and were joined by the brilliant French bassman Pierre Michelot. This is a freewheeling bop date with ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $11.13!
8	Ballads (1961) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Along with Gene Ammons and Stanley Turrentine, Dexter Gordon was one of the top ballad players of the '60s.

This edition of the label's Ballads series features ... see all copies from $6.96! new only from $11.13!
9	Jazz: The Definitive Performances (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $22.14!
10	Round Midnight (1985) more music like this by Dexter Gordon This set was recorded in 1974, 11 years before Bertrand Tavernier's film Round Midnight -- with Dexter Gordon in the leading role -- opened internationally. SteepleChase refrained from releasing it until 1987, however, which is actually quite strange considering the iron was hot at the time, but such is the mysterious life of independents. As ... see all copies from $14.98! new only from $17.03!
11 view cover	Daddy Plays the Horn (1955) more music like this by Dexter Gordon During a period of Dexter Gordon's (tenor sax) life -- when he was deep in the throws of chronic drug addiction -- the artist was miraculously able to reignite his career during the latter part of 1955. After several years of being out of the spotlight, Gordon resurfaced on the Big Apple-based indie Bethlehem imprint with the half-dozen sides that ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $38.22!
12 view cover	The Chase! (1970) more music like this by Gene Ammons with Dexter Gordon Although Gene Ammons received first billing, his fellow tenor Dexter Gordon is an equal partner on this exciting live bebop set. Expanded from the original LP with a previously unissued ballad medley and a full-length 17-minute rendition of "Wee Dot," and this CD is highly recommended to fans of tenor battles and straight-ahead jazz. "Wee Dot" and ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
13 view cover	A Swingin' Affair (1962) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Dexter Gordon was on a roll in 1962 when he recorded A Swingin' Affair.

Gordon wrote two of the set's six tunes, the first of which, the Afro-Cuban-flavored "Soy Califa," is a burner. ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	One Flight Up (1964) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Tenor-great Dexter Gordon and trumpeter Donald Byrd make for an excellent team on this 1964 hard bop quintet date with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen (then only 18) and drummer Art Taylor.

15 view cover	The Complete Prestige Recordings (2004) more music like this by Dexter Gordon While it's unquestionably true that saxophonist Dexter Gordon is best known for his Blue Note sides made between 1960 and 1965, it is on his Prestige recordings, the vast majority of which were taped between 1969 and 1973, where the full depth and breadth of his gift and contribution are documented. What's more, this box finally sets the ... see all copies from $125.91! new only from $125.91!
16 view cover	Clubhouse [RVG Edition] (2007) more music like this by Dexter Gordon The Dexter Gordon album Clubhouse has had somewhat of an ill-fated history. Gordon had been living since 1962 in Europe, but he returned to the states briefly in 1965 to fulfill some contractual obligations, which included delivering two albums for Blue Note Records. A single long session on May 1927, 1965 featuring a quintet of Gordon on tenor ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
17 view cover	Doin' Allright [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Dexter Gordon The title of this Blue Note set fit perfectly at the time, for tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon was making the first of three successful comebacks. Largely neglected during the 1950s, Gordon's Blue Note recordings (of which this was the first) led to his rediscovery. The tenor is teamed with the young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Horace ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
18 view cover	Biting the Apple (1976) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Quartet Many of Dexter Gordon's finest recordings were cut in Europe just prior to his triumphant return to the United States. This album was recorded just weeks before and it is one of the veteran tenor's best. With strong assistance from pianist Barry Harris, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Al Foster, Dexter plays exciting solos on "I'll Remember April," ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
19 view cover	Gettin' Around [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Dexter Gordon meets up with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins on this excellent hard bop date. Recorded during one of the great tenor's infrequent U.S. visits (he had moved to Europe in 1962), Gordon is in excellent form on six diverse selections that range from "Manha de Carnaval" ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
20 view cover	Music for Lovers (2006) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Most of these nine tunes were recorded between 1962 and 1965, with one cut, the final one, taken from a very late date in 1985 with John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Billy Higgins, and Pierre Michelot. Over the course of his career in jazz, Dexter Gordon became one of its greatest balladeers. These tunes, all standards save one original, showcase ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
21 view cover	Pure Cool (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Note's Pure Cool compilation delivers just what the title promises: a collection of tracks from the legendary jazz label's coolest artists, including Kenny Burrell, Charlie Hunter, Earl Klugh, and Stanley Turrentine.
