Recorded in New York during his celebrated European homecoming period, 'Biting the Apple' features legendary tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon leading an acoustic hard bop quartet. Backed by pianist Barry Harris, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Billy Higgins, Gordon exhibits his trademark relaxed swagger and immense harmonic authority. The acoustic session is a pristine demonstration of timeless jazz craftsmanship.
