1	Ballads (1991) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist Along with Gene Ammons and Stanley Turrentine, Dexter Gordon was one of the top ballad players of the '60s. Having already made his name in the bebop era and as an expatriate in Europe, Gordon returned to the States to record a series of fine Blue Note discs during the first half of the decade. This edition of the label's Ballads series features ... see all copies from $3.24! new only from $8.16!
2	A Swingin' Affair (1962) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist Dexter Gordon was on a roll in 1962 when he recorded A Swingin' Affair. Two days earlier he and this same quartet recorded his classic album Go!; the band included pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Butch Warren, and drummer Billy Higgins. 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 $3.90! new only from $8.16!
3	Jingle Bell Jazz [Columbia CD] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Columbia through the years has had several Christmas jazz samplers. This album is mostly from the 1961-62 period, although there is an unusual version of "Deck the Halls" that features both Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea on pianos in 1969 with a nonet. Highlights include Duke Ellington's "Jingle Bells," the Chico Hamilton Quintet playing "Winter ... see all copies from $4.20! new only from $4.20!
4	Dexter Calling... (1961) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist Dexter Gordon's second recording for the Blue Note label is a solidly swinging affair, yet constantly full of surprises. It's not unexpected that Gordon's tenor at this time -- 1961 -- is one of the most enjoyable in mainstream jazz, but his transition from the cool California scene to the hotter music environs of New York City had energized his ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $7.96!
5	Jazzy Wonderland (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $4.59!
6	Clubhouse [RVG Edition] (1965) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist 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 $8.16! new only from $8.16!
7	The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $16.00! new only from $16.00!
8	One Flight Up [Bonus Track] (1964) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist When he expatriated to Scandinavia just before this session in Paris was recorded, Dexter Gordon said he was liberated in many ways, as a jazz musician and as a human being. This is reflected in the lengthy track on this album, a testament to that newly found freedom, addressing the restrictions the American music scene placed on artists to do the ... see all copies from $9.93! new only from $9.93!
9	The Best of Dexter Gordon: The Blue Note Years (1988) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist Blue Note's handy roundup series moves on to chronicle the '60s label stint of a bebop veteran. Returning to the States from Europe to cut several dates, Dexter Gordon managed to produce some of his best stuff for Alfred Lion's venerable jazz company. This fine disc features many of the highlights, including both breezy swingers and dusky ballads. ... see all copies from $7.27! new only from $13.27!
10	The Panther! (1970) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist Dexter Gordon (tenor sax) entered the 1970s -- as well as his career's quarter-century mark -- on a definite upstroke with the sly, sexy -- and above else -- stylish platter The Panther! (1970). Gordon commands a quartet whose membership boasts luminaries Tommy Flanagan (piano), Larry Ridley (bass), and Alan Dawson (drums). Remarkably -- or ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
11	The Complete Prestige Recordings (2004) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist 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 $106.79! new only from $106.79!

14	Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 3 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Volume three of a five-CD set issued by the Smithsonian, this set starts off with a short history lesson on the music of Duke Ellington, beginning with 1927's "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" and finishing with 1941's "In a Mellotone." From there on, however, the set moves straight into bop territory with essential sides from Dizzy Gillespie ("I Can't ... see all copies from $4.05!

24	Daddy Plays the Horn (1955) more music like this by Dexter Gordon add to wishlist 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.
