Gravity and Resurgence: The Many Dimensions of Dexter Gordon

Read "Gravity and Resurgence: The Many Dimensions of Dexter Gordon" reviewed by Arthur R George

Read "Measured Response" reviewed by David A. Orthmann

by David A. Orthmann

Art Hirahara's brief, cryptic solo piano intro to “Where Do We Go?," the opening track of trumpeter/flugelhornist Josh Lawrence's album, offers little indication of what immediately follows: Lawrence's warm-toned, delectable horn surrounded by relaxed, straightforward, middling-tempo swing courtesy of bassist Luques Curtis and drummer Rudy Royston. This intriguing transition sets the stage for a recording that ...
