Sometimes record companies release a second soundtrack from a successful film for reasons that seem more commercial than artistic, but in the case of THE OTHER SIDE OF ROUND MIDNIGHT FEATURING DEXTER GORDON, that practice is well warranted. Taken from Bertrand Tavernier's 1986 film based on jazz great Bud Powell's years in Paris, these songs helped the film win an Oscar for Best Original Score.

Dexter Gordon plays on four of the nine songs, backed by such eminent jazz musicians as Herbie Hancock, who contributes a masterful solo piano version of the title track (which also appears with fuller accompaniment), bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Billy Higgins. Among the gems here are the vampy "Call Sheet Blues," which arose out of an impromptu studio jam session; a sprightly, cocktail-lounge take on "It's Only a Paper Moon" and a live performance of "As Time Goes By" that features Gordon's mellifluous sax and nifty playing by guest guitarist John McLaughlin.
