Our Take

Straight out of the jazz archives comes a treasure trove of grooves in the form of "Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 45: Dexter Gordon Quartet. Willisau 1978." This live recording captures the legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon at the peak of his powers, delivering a masterclass in cool that will have you snapping your fingers and tapping your toes in no time.

From the moment Gordon's saxophone hits the first notes of "Fried Bananas," you know you're in for a treat. His smooth, velvety tone weaves effortlessly through each track, leaving you spellbound and craving more. The quartet's tight interplay, led by pianist George Gruntz, is nothing short of mesmerising - it's like they're reading each other's minds and finishing each other's musical sentences.

But it's not just Gordon's virtuosity that shines on this album. The rhythm section of Rufus Reid on bass and Victor Lewis on drums lays down a solid groove that will have you bobbing your head and tapping your foot without even realising it. The energy and chemistry between the musicians are palpable, creating a musical experience that is as infectious as it is exhilarating.

So crack open a bottle of your finest scotch, dim the lights, and let the smooth sounds of Dexter Gordon transport you to a jazz paradise. "Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 45: Dexter Gordon Quartet. Willisau 1978" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado looking to add a touch of class to their collection. Cheers, Dexter - you've done it again!
