First issued in 1980 as part of Blue Note's LT Series, Landslide compiles three previously unreleased sessions from 1961-62, capturing saxophonist Dexter Gordon aka the "Sophisticated Giant" in peak form. Gordon's tenor tenure saw him rip-curl the grand urbanities of LA, York and Philly over a towering career, and the cast of collaborators heard on sound display here - Sonny Clark, Philly Joe Jones, Ron Carter, and Willie Bobo - offer a vibrant showcase of the company he kept. From the smoky balladry of 'Blue Gardenia' to the uptempo burner 'Second Balcony Jump', this set offers a dynamic portrait of Gordon's versatility.
