Charlie Mariano is on this as well as 2 other albums by Shelly Manne & His Men.

Op.59/2 and Op.74

Charlie Mariano played at a concert I attended about 20 years ago. I was very disappointed in his playing as it was very much as Gheorghe described it.

with Carl Saunders, Tom Ranier, Dave Carpenter, Frank Capp

Dan, the idea , as I understand it, is not to pick out your favorite recordings by an Artist, but to select some that you enjoy, even though it is not generally considered a great album. So even though there are many records by DEXTER I would rate higher, I nonetheless have a soft spot for The Resurgence of Dexter Gordon . I would put Dexter Blows Hot and Cool in the same category.

Robert Schumann - Piano Trio No.3, Op.110 and Fantasiestucke Op.88

As best I recall, this Dexter album has usually been considered among his weaker recordings by reviewers and many listeners. Yet though not one of my favorite Dexter albums, it is one I have long enjoyed quite a bit.
