Dexter Gordon
's legendary gigs at the
Village Vanguard
with his working band of pianist
George Cables
, bassist
Rufus Reid
, and drummer
Eddie Gladden
. Produced by
Michael
, this set captures the true mastery of
Gordon
at his melodic peak. Some of the fire of the earlier
bebop
years has mellowed but, as evidenced by the opening ballad
"As Time Goes By,"

"Body and Soul,"
"LTD,"
and the beautiful
"Tanya."
The 2005
Legacy
CD reissue includes a previously unreleased version of
"Secret Love,"
and a read of
Thelonious Monk
's
"Ruby My Dear,"
from the
Great Encounters
album.
