Unless I'm mistaken this recording is running almost a semitone flat..I don't remember Dex playing'Its You..' in E..Which it is here..He always played it in F..Anyway some Dex sharp or flat is always welcome!

Thank you so much! The significance of Dexter Gordan's playing cannot be underestimated. I have yet to hear a recording of him that was not worth adding to my collection.
