Dexter Gordon's A Swingin' Affair is the relaxed, big-hearted companion to his 1962 Blue Note masterpiece Go, cut by the very same quartet in the same run of sessions.
By the early 1960s Gordon was in the middle of a remarkable comeback. After a quiet stretch through much of the previous decade, his Blue Note records reintroduced that huge, unhurried tenor sound to a new generation, and this set was held back until 1964, by which point he had already relocated to Europe. Listening now, it is hard to understand why anyone kept it on the shelf.
The band is a dream: Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass and Billy Higgins on drums, swinging with an ease that only comes from players completely in tune with each other. Soy Califa opens with a sly Latin strut, Gordon riding the groove like he owns the room. His reading of Don't Explain is pure tenderness, every phrase given room to breathe, while You Stepped Out of a Dream turns a standard into a bright, buoyant workout. The Backbone closes things with hard-swinging muscle.
This is Long Tall Dexter at his most generous, a session that rewards the deep listener and the casual one alike. Put it on late, pour something good, and let that tone fill the room.
