Our Man in Paris
by Dexter Gordon
A classic session uniting American bebop giants in their adopted home of Paris. Dexter Gordon's tenor sound is huge and authoritative, and he navigates this Charlie Parker standard with a relaxed, behind-the-beat swagger. The real magic is hearing him alongside a rejuvenated Bud Powell, whose piano playing is both fiery and creative. It’s a joyous, top-tier bebop summit that celebrates the genre's living history.
