Gettin' Around captures Dexter Gordon at his most elegant and expressive, returning from his years in Europe to record this celebrated session for Blue Note in 1965. Showcasing his unmistakable tenor saxophone tone, Gordon delivers a refined blend of bossas, ballads, and swinging jazz classics, accompanied by a stellar ensemble with nuanced support throughout.
This album stands out for its thoughtful selection of material, including memorable interpretations of "Manhã de Carnaval," "Everybody's Somebody's Fool," and a stylish take on "Shiny Stockings," finishing with one of Dexter's own originals. With excellent recording quality and the saxophone front and center, Gettin' Around is an essential listen for any jazz enthusiast or Dexter Gordon fan.
