Dexter Gordon is a legendary figure in jazz for many reasons. He was among the
first to transfer the characteristics and style of bebop innovator Charlie
Parker to the tenor saxophone. His career spanned from 1940 until his death in
1990. He played the lead role in the French/American film Round Midnight in 1986
(and got an Oscar nomination). He possessed one of the biggest, most durable,
romantic (without being soppy), swaggering (without excess) and recognizable
tenor sounds in jazz history. No innovator, but a stylist of the highest order.
This wonderfully recorded set captures Gordon in live performance in 67, in his
then-hometown of Copenhagen, backed by a band that he worked with frequently (so
much so their interplay is practically telepathic): pianist Kenny Drew, drummer
Al Tootie Heath, and Euro-bass-ace Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. They swing the
standards like nobodys business, with the highlight being a 15-minute But Not
For Me where everyone, especially Gordon, gets to shine and strut their stuff.
Fine stuff, for Gordon fans, and for those just getting into him--or into
mainstream jazz (60s division) for that matter.
