  • Description

    180g audiophile repress of a 1977 SteepleChase LP, recorded in NYC in the midst of Dexter Gordon's great comeback to the USA. 'Biting The Apple' was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque Diamant of 1978 by the Montreux Jazz Festival.

    "Biting The Apple being recorded around the same time as his 'Homecoming' (CBS) album sounds much better with strong backing by pianist Barry Harris, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Al Foster." - Oakland Tribune

    "Dexter in command, authoritative and muscularly assertive as ever." - Mike Hennessey, Jazz Journal

    "Excellent representation of his strength and subtlety in this format." - Jazz Magazine
