Gettin' Around

Gettin' Around is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded over two days in May 1965 and released by Blue Note the following year.

[2] The CD reissue added two bonus tracks from the same session.

The review in Billboard magazine in 1966 called Gordon's playing "cool and hot", especially praising his improvisations on "Heartaches".

[3] The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos was less enthusiastic stated: "While this is not Gordon's ultimate hard bop date, it is reflective of his cooling out in Europe, adopting a tonal emphasis more under the surface than in your face.

It's not essential, but quite enjoyable, and does mark a turning point in his illustrious career.
