This was around the time after I had finished hi school, there were two "brandnew" Dexter records in the record shops, this one and "Great Encounters" (similar covers). 

I is so long from that time, but it still sounds "modern" and is almost my idea of a perfect acoustic jazz quartet album. Usually I am 100/100 into the music only, but in this case I also must admit, that the cover photo, the design and the liner notes is perfect. 

I music colleage of mine was in NY during the time this was recorded and heard them play that material live at Vanguard !!! I think, Dexter still had a few very good years in the late 70´s until maybe the early 80´s, when I still heard some very very fine concerts. It was only the last occasion that was a disappointment for me and others and was painfully reminding of of the infamous "Lover Man Session" of Bird in the 40´s .

The best George Cables work I heard on a tape that a guy made at Vanguard during that period. That solo on "Moment´s Notice" great, with shouts of enthusiasm from the audience. And Cable´s original "I told you so" , which is bossa all thru on the record, is swing in solos on the live tape. And Rufus Reid plays a great bowed solo. 
Sorry to say I didn´t know that I had to reel back the cassette after hearing, and after decades, when I wanted to listen to it again, especially the ballads have terrible wovers in the middle. 
That´s the thing, got the cassette when I was 18,19, placed it somewhere and then in the 2000´s it´s not good anymore . Same with some Mingus cassettes I had......
