When this album was recorded in May 1970 Dexter Gordon had been a Scandinavian resident on and off for eight years, working regularly at Copenhagen's Montmartre club with pianist Kenny Drew and bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. He met Oslo-born Karin Krog - `a musician first and a vocalist second' - when they shared the bill at the Neptun Jazz Club in Bergen, Norway, 1963, and a deep mutual respect developed from that point on. In 1967 Krog and Gordon worked together on a show for Danish television and it was then that idea for this album was born.

'Some Other Spring' was recorded for the Sonet label in 1970 and was then reissued on the Storyville label in 1971. It has gone on to become a classic album and is now presented for the first time on CD, together with four extra tracks not included on the original release ("Ode To Billy Joe", "Some Other Spring", "Blue Monk", "Shiny Stockings").

Personnel: Karin Krog (vocals), Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone, vocals), Kenny Drew (piano, organ), Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass), Espen Rud (drums)
