It's great. My favorite one though is her last. I think that is a masterpiece.

I think I have two of those records: I think they are titled "Tangerine" and one other from the same session, I think they have Thad Jones on trumpet, it could be Louis Hayes on drums, and the great Stanley Clark on bass !!!!! 

But nevertheless, I think that "Prestige" recordings during that time, meant less money than later. I think..... at least from what I read about Dexter during his stay in Europe, that he became quite forgotten in the States and played only sporadically there......

There is another one I never could purchase though it might be the most interesting: 

It is something from Montreux with Hampton Hawes, Bob Cranshaw and Kenny Clark and maybe from Montreux. I have a Gene Ammons record with the same rhythm section, where Dexter sit´s in so I would like to hear the real Dexter album to, but to buy the whole compilation only for ONE record I want to here, would not do it.
