Our Take

We'll be real with you, mate, Dexter Gordon's "Blows Hot And Cool" is more than just a jazz album - it's an experience. From the first note to the last, Gordon's tenor saxophone skills will leave you feeling like you've just been on a musical rollercoaster.

The title track, "Blows Hot And Cool", is a fiery number that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. Gordon's smooth and soulful playing is the perfect blend of hot and cool, just like a pint of Guinness on a sunny day in London.

But don't let the upbeat tracks fool you - Gordon knows how to slow things down and hit you right in the feels. "Misty" is a tender ballad that showcases Gordon's emotional depth and delicate touch on the saxophone. It's the kind of song that will make you want to grab a glass of whisky and contemplate life's deepest mysteries.

Overall, "Blows Hot And Cool" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Gordon's impeccable playing and the album's dynamic range make it a true gem in the world of jazz music. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let Dexter Gordon take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
