DEXTER GORDON
OUR MAN IN PARIS
DOXY Records 140-Gram Clear Vinyl LP
Imported from the Russian Federation Made in Germany
Limited Edition One of 500 Hand-Numbered Copies
Doxy presents a reissue of Dexter Gordon's Our Man In Paris (1963). 
This 1963 date is titled for Dexter Gordon's living in self-imposed Parisian exile and recording there with two other expatriates and a French native. 
Along with Gordon, pianist Bud Powell and Kenny "Klook" Clarke were living in the "City of Lights" and were joined by the brilliant French bassman Pierre Michelot.
Gordon is at the very top of his game here. His playing is crisp, tight, and full of playful fury. Powell, who at this stage of his life was almost continually plagued by personal problems, never sounded better than he does in this session. His playing is a tad more laid-back here, but is nonetheless full of the brilliant harmonic asides and incendiary single-note runs he is legendary for. The rhythm section is close-knit and stop-on-a-dime accurate. 
Numbered first press, edition of 500.
Track Listing:
A1. Scrapple From The Apple  A2. Willow Weep For Me 
B1. Broadway  B2. Stairway To The Star  B3. A Night In Tunisia
