Dexter Gordon - Clubhouse (1965) Genre: Jazz

While Lester Young was indeed dubbed the "Prez" of the jazz tenor saxophone by Billie Holiday, a case could be made for Dexter Gordon to be considered Chairman of the Board. One of the very first tenor saxophonists to incorporate the innovations of Charlie Parker into his approach, Gordon influenced generations of sax-masters, including Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. Like that other chairman, Gordon was a master of the ballad who could briskly swagger or smoothly croon. With him in the company of the elegant and earthy piano of Barry Harris and the brash, adroit trumpeting of Freddie Hubbard, how can one go wrong with CLUBHOUSE? Stellar.

Amazon.com reviewer:

Until this recent RVG reissue, Dexter Gordon's "Clubhouse" had a checkered past. Recorded on May 27, 1965 during a visit stateside, it was never released on vinyl until 1979, unearthed only after Dex's triumphant "Homecoming." Then it was released as a single CD in 1990, only to quickly land in the cut-out bins during the height of Capitol's Garth Brooks hysteria. It also appeared on Gordon's Complete Blue Note collection, which by now has been long out of print as well. Now "Clubhouse" finally finds a permanent place in the catalog, with new cover art to boot. This session features Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, and the remarkable rhythm trio of Barry Harris on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. That rhythm trio was the backbone of one of Blue Note's most famous recordings, Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder, and their chemistry here is as great as ever. The disc's highlights are the title track, a classic reading of "I'm A Fool to Want You," and the lovely original "Jodi." While not his finest moment on Blue Note, it's nonetheless great to have Dex back in the "Clubhouse."
