    Dexter Gordon experienced a career renaissance with his momentous comeback on Blue Note in the early 1960s which produced numerous all-time classic albums. In 1980, producer Michael Cuscuna dug into the vaults to compile "Landslide", a collection released as part of the LT Series that was comprised of previously unreleased tracks that the legendary saxophonist had recorded for the label during three different sessions in 1961-62 with a varied cast of musicians including trumpeters Tommy Turrentine and Dave Burns; pianists Kenny Crew, Sir Charles Thompson, and Sonny Clark; bassists Paul Chambers, Al Lucas, and Ron Carter; and drummers Philly Joe Jones and Willie Bobo. The 7-song set is a showcase of Gordon’s hard-swinging improvisational creativity and brilliant balladry.

    BLUE NOTE TONE POET EDITION: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analogue master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a single sleeve with deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.
