180 GRAM VINYL. (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Though he first recorded in the late-1940s, Dexter Gordons Blue Note debut Doin Allrightrecorded and released in 1961marked a rebirth for the great tenor saxophonist after a decade in which drug addiction and legal troubles limited his output. But his Blue Note years put him back on top with a run of essential albums that stand as classics of the jazz canon. Doin Allright featured a top flight quintet with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Horace Parlan, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Al Harewood on a set that presented bluesy hard bop originals like Society Red and highlighted Gordons stunning balladry on the standard Youve Changed.
