About this album
Our Man in Paris is a hard bop classic that found Dexter Gordon in superb late-peak form and helped renew his international profile. Recorded in Paris in 1963 with Bud Powell, Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke, the session brought a transatlantic edge to Gordon’s sound: relaxed, swinging and full of elegant phrasing. The album’s interpretations of standards such as “A Night in Tunisia” and “Scrapple From The Apple” show his ability to stretch familiar material without losing clarity or drive. Long regarded as one of Gordon’s essential Blue Note albums, it remains a landmark of modern jazz horn playing.
