ORG Music

Dexter Gordon was a renowned tenor saxophonist during the bebop era. Born on February 27, 1923 in Los Angeles, California, he drew inspiration from influential tenor players of the 1930s and 1940s such as Lester Young, Herschel Evans, and Illinois Jacquet. With his distinctive sound and improvisational skills, Gordon made a significant impact on jazz music.

Throughout his career, Dexter Gordon collaborated with numerous talented musicians including Oliver Nelson, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, Kenny Dorham, Jackie McLean, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Stitt, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Joe Henderson, Clifford Brown and many more.

Gordon's legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and contributions to the jazz genre. His unique style continues to inspire aspiring musicians around the world.

Back In Stock

Recorded live in July of 1967 at the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this selection finds tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon and his quartet (pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pederson and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath) in top form. Two of the standards on this hard-swinging set ("But Not for Me" &amp; "Take the 'A' Train") are over ten minutes long, allowing Gordon to stretch out creatively. The historic recording finally gets its vinyl debut with this 180 gram audiophile-grade Pallas pressing.
