Dextor Gordon Trio - Lullaby for a Monster - LP

Piano-less Trio Session, Recorded 1976

Recorded June 15, 1976, Lullaby for a Monster finds the great Dexter Gordon plunging into a blowing spree in an unusual piano-less trio format. Captured just before his triumphant homecoming, it contains some of his freest solos — notably "On Green Dolphin Street" — and stands as a powerful reminder of an era when jazz giants roamed in abundance. A favorite among musicians, the album deserves wider recognition within Gordon's discography. New liner notes by C. Andrew Hovan.
