Dexter

Posted over 3 years ago



Dexter Gordon had such a colorful and eventful life (with three separate comebacks) that his story would make a great Hollywood movie. The top tenor saxophonist to emerge during the bop era and possessor of his own distinctive sound, Gordon sometimes was longwinded and quoted excessively from other songs, but he created a large body of superior work and could battle nearly anyone successfully at a jam session.

This tune is perfect for a late Saturday night

    It just amazes me what you can find out here on the net once you start poking around.  This is the first instrumental version and the most relaxed (and relaxing) version of "Junco Partner" I've ever heard.  Great post.
