( GREAT ENCOUNTERS ) by ( DEXTER GORDON )...... ....( Track Listing 1. Blues Up and Down 2. Cake 3. Diggin' It 4. My Dear Ruby 5. It's Only a Paper Moon Personnel: Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Eddie Jefferson (vocals); Johnny Griffin (tenor saxophone); Woody Shaw (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); George Cables (piano); Eddie Gladden (drums).Additional personnel: Curtis Fuller, Eddie Jefferson, Johnny Griffin, Woody Shaw.Liner Note Author: Michael Cuscuna.Recording information: Carnegie Hall, New York, NY (09/23/1978); CBS Recording Studios, NY (09/23/1978).The two great tenors, Dexter Gordon and Johnny Griffin, battle it out on in exciting fashion on live versions of "Blues Up and Down" and "Cake." Bop singer Eddie Jefferson and trumpeter Woody Shaw join Gordon and his quartet (pianist George Cables, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Eddie Gladden) on "Diggin' In" and "It's Only a Paper Moon" and Gordon takes Thelonious Monk's ballad "Ruby My Dear" as his feature. Everything works quite well on this diverse but consistent LP, one of Dexter Gordon's later efforts. ~ Scott Yanow ).......
