This six-CD set collects the towering tenor saxophonist's Blue Note recordings from 1961 to 1965--a period of high creativity in a long and diverse career that had begun in the bop revolution of the '40s. Throughout he is heard in the quartets and quintets that he preferred, playing with unique authority and sustained invention. The support is consistently strong and sometimes brilliant, including contributions from pianist Sonny Clark and drummer Philly Joe Jones. A Paris session with fellow bop pioneers Bud Powell and Kenny Clarke is a highlight. Gordon's music had continued to grow and develop into the '60s, and it's possible to hear touches of Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane in his playing here, Gordon taking notes from musicians who had learned from him years before. The set includes alternate takes and recordings of Gordon's fascinating reminiscences. --Stuart Broomer
