One of two albums recorded on the set of the movie Round Midnight, The Other Side of Round Midnight features tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon (the star of the film) in a minor role, playing on just four of the nine numbers. However, the performances also feature Wayne Shorter on tenor and soprano, trumpeters Palle Mikkelborg and Freddie Hubbard, pianists Herbie Hancock and Cedar Walton, guitarist John McLaughlin, bassists Pierre Michelot, Ron Carter and Mads Vinding, drummers Billy Higgins and Tony Williams and (on "What Is This Thing Called Love") singer Bobby McFerrin, all of whom have their moments, both historically and musically. Not essential but interesting. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-other-side-of-round-midnight-mw0000188092

Personnel: Dexter Gordon (soprano & tenor saxophones); Bobby McFerrin (vocals); Wayne Shorter (soprano & tenor saxophones); Palle Mikkelborg, Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Herbie Hancock, Cedar Walton (piano); Pierre Michelot, Ron Carter, Mads Vinding (bass); Billy Higgins, Tony Williams (drums).

(5:45) 11. Cheek To Cheek

Although he has been a top clarinetist for over 30 years and a popular attraction at classic jazz parties and festivals, clarinetist Chuck Hedges has had relatively few opportunities to lead his own record dates; in fact, this Arbors CD was his first session as a leader in nine years. Pianist Eddie Higgins (showcased on his "Magnolia Rag"), bassist Bob Haggart and drummer Gene Estes are swinging and supportive of Hedges, who is in top form on such numbers as "There Is No Greater Love," "Samba Dese Days," and "Cheek to Cheek." A superior advanced swing date. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/no-greater-love-mw0000029794

Personnel: Chuck Hedges (clarinet); Eddie Higgins (piano); Gene Estes (drums).
