Not hard to understand why this album won a "Record of the Month" award.

Oh yes, I had some of those "Electra Musician" albums . I think it was a very very short lived label and it was started by Bruce Lundvall after he left Columbia and took his main artists, Dexter and Woody with him.

It has some of the best cover photo of Dexter, this and "Manhattan Symphony" , but the album itself is not as good as Manhattan Symphony. 
First, Manhatten Symphony is like a typical Dexter Gordon Set from a concert/club date (I have a live tape made from Village Vanguard from the same time). 
They splitted this, one side with Shirley Scott, the other with his regular working quartet....., and that´s not what I think is ideal. For me anyway since I´m not the biggest fan of organ, that´s an own category IMHO....

And that´s pity, since Dexters discography after his leaving CBS became quite scarce.
