Dexter Gordon

This release presents the complete original album Dexter Blows Hot and Cool (Dootone DTL207). Recorded in 1955, it features Gordon in a quartet and quintet format, and was one of the first long-play albums by Gordon (whose previous recordings had been issued predominantly on 78 rpm discs). This was the saxophonist's only collaboration with pianist Carl Perkins. As a bonus, added most of Gordon's previous session, recorded in a quartet format with Kenny Drew on piano.
