Dexter Gordon played the tenor saxophone. His sound was big and unapologetic. You could feel his warmth and power at the same time. The musician was imposing in stature too. 6 foot 6 inches of a man. He played ferocious bebop when he started. However, like Miles Davis, he decided to explore slower and longer sounds, especially when he lived in Europe. He stayed there 14 years. I love his album “Our man in Paris” (1963), especially “A Night in Tunisia”, co-wrote by Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Paparelli. Dexter Gordon is among great friends, Kenny Clarke on drums and Bud Powell on piano. These are exceptional musicians. A sophisticated player, Dexter Gordon is at his best in small bands. “Go!” and “A Swingin’ Affair” (1962) are also great albums. Sonny Clark on piano is trading great vibes with Dexter Gordon.

Dexter Gordon jouait du sax ténor. Son son est imposant et remplit l’oreille. Vous pouvez sentir sa chaleur et sa puissance. Le musicien était grand de taille dans la vie. 2 mètres de haut. Il jouait du bebop avec fureur au début de sa carrière. Mais, comme Miles Davis, il décida d’explorer les autres styles et joua plus lentement, surtout lorsqu’il s’est expatrié en Europe. Il y est resté 14 ans. J’aime son album « Our man in Paris » (1963), surtout « A Night in Tunisia” que Dizzy Gillespie a écrit avec Frank Paparelli. Dexter Gordon est avec des amis, Kenny Clark à la batterie, Bud Powell au piano. Ce sont des musiciens exceptionnels. Dexter Gordon est un joueur sophistiqué qui brille surtout dans les petits orchestres. « Go! » et « A Swingin’ Affair » (1962) sont aussi de très bons albums. Sony Clark au piano échange brillamment avec Dexter Gordon.
