5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a splendid box, bringing together a consistently terrific period in the up-down life of Long Tall Dex.", "In their authority and depth, the explosive '60s Blue Note recordings of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon rival the contemporaneous work of such masters as Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane..." - Rating: A, "...In this meticulously remastered six-disc reprise of Gordon's ebullient Blue Note tenure, his majesterial tenor orates with Olympian authority....This extraordinary testament to jazz as serious fun promises to be a `must' for fans of Gordon, of jazz, and, indeed, of life itself..."
