Â Read MoreIn 1943, he did get to stretch out on a recording session with Nat
King Cole. Short stints with Lee Young, the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, and
Louis Armstrongs big band preceded his move to New York in December 1944, where
he was hired for Billy Eckstines Orchestra, trading off with Gene Ammons on
Eckstines recording of Blowin the Blues Away. Gordon recorded with Dizzy
Gillespie (Blue N Boogie) and as a leader for Savoy before returning to Los
Angeles in the summer of 1946. He was a major part of the Central Avenue scene,
trading off with Wardell Gray and Teddy Edwards in many legendary tenor battles;
studio recordings of The Chase and The Duel helped to document the atmosphere of
the period.

Doin Alright/Dexter Calling/Go/Our Man in ParisAfter 1952, drug problems
resulted in jail time and periods of inactivity during the rest of the 50s
(although Gordon did record two albums in 1955). By 1960, he had recovered
sufficiently to cut a core series of dates for Blue Note including Doin Alright,
Dexter Calling, Swingin Affair and Go). After re-establishing his reputation, he
moved to Europe in 1962 and remained there until 1976. While on the continent,
he was in peak form -- Gordons many SteepleChase recordings rank with the finest
work of his career and include four dates with altoist Jackie McLean. Gordon
returned to the U.S. on an occasional basis, recording in 1965, 1969 and 1970,
and 1972, but by then he was almost forgotten in the U.S. although he remained a
major attraction in Europe. Given this status, it proved an odd yet welcome
surprise that his return to America in 1976 was treated as a major media event,
illustrated by the double-live Homecoming LP from his American tour, and the
studio date Sophisticated Giant in 1977. A great deal of interest was suddenly
given the living legend, with long lines of people waiting at clubs to see him.
In 1978, appearing with Johnny Griffin, he sold out Carnegie Hall. Gordon
remained a popular figure until his gradually worsening health made him only
semi-active by the early 80s. His third comeback occurred when he was picked to
star in the motion picture Round Midnight. Gordons acting was quite realistic
and touching. He was nominated for an Academy Award four years before his death.

At the Subway Club 1973In the 21st century, several important live finds have
been issued, including the Dutch Archives In the Cave: Live at Persepolis,
Utrecht, 1963, Rhinos vinyl-only Live at the Playboy Jazz Festival, and
Elementals At the Subway Club 1973. ~ Scott Yanow
