A Swingin' Affair is a 1962 album by saxophonist Dexter Gordon, recorded two days after Go! with the same line-up, but not released for two years.
The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on August 29, 1962.[1] Gordon's quartet contained pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Butch Warren, and drummer Billy Higgins. Of the six compositions, three are standards, two were written by Gordon, and one was contributed by Warren.
A Swingin' Affair was released in early October 1964.[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz picked "You Stepped Out of a Dream" as the album's highlight, but described the session as a "not altogether riveting date."
