This excellent Columbia album was recorded less than a year after Dexter Gordon's well-publicized tour of the United States following a dozen years spent living in Europe. With assistance from such other major players as trumpeters Woody Shaw and Benny Bailey, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson sounds in superlative form on Woody Shaw's "The Moontrane," four standards, and his own "Fried Bananas." In addition to the original program (which features Dexter with an all-star tentet), the 1997 CD reissue adds two 1979 features for vocalese singer Eddie Jefferson ("Diggin' It" and "It's Only a Paper Moon") that were originally released on Gordon's Great Encounters; trumpeter Shaw and trombonist Curtis Fuller co-star with Gordon. An excellent acquisition.

Review by Scott Yanow, Allmusic.com

Unlike most of his albums, where long, tall Dexter fronts a combo, on this 1977 studio date he’s accompanied by a ten-man band on a set of standards and originals arranged by Slide Hampton. Gordon’s rich tone meshes beautifully with the ensemble on tunes like “Laura” and Woody Shaw’s “The Moontrane” with the composer on hand to fire off one of his temperature-raising solos. With tuba (Howard Johnson), flute (Frank Wess) and vibes (Bobby Hutcherson) in the mix, the tonal palette gets some very fresh infusions. Of course a date with Dexter wouldn’t be complete without one of his wide-ranging, all-out, quote-filled romps and his “Fried Bananas” fits the bill perfectly.
