A short excerpt from the liner notes:

“This recording captures more than just an exceptional performance—it documents the kind of serious artistic statement that becomes possible when musicians know their work will be heard and appreciated at its true level of sophistication.(..)The “More Than You Know” recording stands as permanent testimony to the profound relationship between Dexter Gordon and the devoted Jazz community in Italy. It preserves a moment when Jazz had achieved true international status while maintaining its essential character as an art form based on individual expression within collective interaction.”  Maxine Gordon
