While in Europe, tenor-sax-great Dexter Gordon recorded many sessions with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Albert &Tootie& Heath. All are worth acquiring and this one is no exception. In addition to three of his originals (including the title tune), the quartet performs the old bop line &Wee-Dot& and Horace Silver's &Strollin& while the ballad &Old Folks& is taken as an emotional Gordon-Pedersen duet.
