Unlike many other American expatriates living in Europe, tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon always managed to play and record with the top musicians while overseas. This excellent sextet session (with trombonist Slide Hampton, trumpeter Dizzy Reece, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Art Taylor) finds him exploring three Slide Hampton compositions and a trio of standard ballads. The other soloists are fine but Gordon easily dominates the set, playing his brand of hard-driving bop.~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/day-in-copenhagen-mw0000649538

Personnel:  Dexter Gordon - tenor saxophone;  Slide Hampton - trombone;  Dizzy Reece - trumpet;  Kenny Drew - piano;  Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - bass;  Art Taylor - drums
