Gettin' Around

by Dexter Gordon

Recorded primarily in Paris, this album features Dexter Gordon's imposing tenor saxophone alongside Bobby Hutcherson's shimmering vibraphone. The inclusion of a light, bossa nova rhythm section on several tracks tempers Gordon's aggressive bop phrasing with a relaxed, remarkably fluid elegance.
