Seven CD box set. After his exile in Europe Dexter Gordon returned to the USA the end of 1976. This event was documented on the 2 LP set Homecoming - Live at the Village Vanguard (CD1 and CD2). After this Dexter and producer Michael Cuscuna embarked on a new project only a major label could fund: a larger ensemble to support the lush and marvellous tenor sound of Mr. Gordon. Slide Hampton was enlisted as arranger and the result was the album Sophisticated Giant (CD3). With his working quartet (George Cables, Rufus Reid and Eddie Gladden) Dexter recorded Manhattan Symphony in 1978 (CD4). The Live at Carnegie Hall tapes were discovered in 1998 and here we hear the quartet stretching out a bit more than in the confines of the studio walls. Johnny Griffin sits in on 2 tracks (CD5). The quartet broke up at the end of the 70's so the next album Gotham City became an all-star affair with Woody Shaw, George Benson, Cedar Walton, Art Blakey \u0026amp; Percy Heath (CD6). The CBS All-Stars - Montreux Summit and the Havana Jam tracks on which Dexter plays can be found on the last CD (CD7). The tracks from the Great Encounters album are put back together with the original sessions from which they came.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGingerbread Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Red's Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fenja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In Case You Haven't Heard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fried Bananas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's You or No One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let's Get Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 'Round Midnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Backstairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Body and Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Laura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Moontrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Red Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fried Bananas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're Blasé\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Insensitive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Diggin' in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's Only a Paper Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e As Time Goes By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moment's Notice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tanya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Told You So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Body and Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e LTD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ruby My Dear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Secret Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Secret Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The End of a Love Affair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e More Than You Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blues Up and Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cheesecake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hi Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Blues Walk (Loose Walk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gotham City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Conversation with Dexter Gordon.
