by Scott Yanow Tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded seven Blue Note albums during 1960-1964, and all are easily recommended. The power and creativity he showed during those performances led to his first successful comeback and display him in prime form. Dexter Calling. . . showcases the distinctive tenor with a quartet that also includes pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. Gordon and Drew contributed six originals to the date, but it is the leader's interpretations of the two standards, "End of a Love Affair" and particularly "Smile," that are most memorable. [The CD reissue adds a version of "Landslide" not released at the time.]
