This was the same quartet from the classic album \"Go!\", which was recorded only days earlier. In 1962, there was no stopping Dexter Gordon. The first great bebop tenor-saxophonist, Gordon was in one of his peak periods. He contributed two songs (including the heated \"Soy Califa\"), swings hard on \"You Stepped Out Of A Dream\" and caresses the melodies of \"Don't Explain\" and \"Until The Real Thing Comes Along\". With his huge tone, witty style and ability to swing at every tempo, Dexter Gordon could not be beat when he played the music he loved. \"A Swingin' Affair\", which also features outstanding playing from Sonny Clark and Billy Higgins, is one of his truly great recordings. The definitive versions of Blue Note are on XRCD24 - the optimization of CD mastering and manufacturing. Plays on all standard CD players. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Astute listeners know that the very first Blue Note CD issues are sonically superior to the more recent RVG remasters. Well, these XRCD24s absolutely crush them both, displaying high-frequency air, midrange presence, and bottom-end definition and weight missing on earlier CDs and many LPs as well. --Mark Mickelson, TheAudioBeat.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI recommend these highly. If you want the best digital versions of these great Blue Note albums, grab these. In my opinion they are the best that have ever been done and probably the best that ever will be. They can't stay in print forever so don't delay! --Steve Hoffman, Mastering Engineer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58476022038902,"sku":"0693692200232","price":40.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_529928_643238_jpg.jpg?v=1786990454","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0693692200232-a-swingin-affair","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
