Tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon uplifts four warhorses (a cooking &Secret Love,& &Polkadots and Moonbeams,& &The Shadow of Your Smile& and &Summertime&) in lengthy and creative renditions. This live set from Stockholm, Sweden finds Gordon joined by an excellent Swedish rhythm section (pianist Lars Sjosten, bassist Sture Nordin and drummer Fredrik Noren) on an excellent LP of fairly explorative bop.
