...' He was among the most influential early bebop musicians, which included other greats such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell. Gordon's height was 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm), so he was also known as "Long Tall Dexter" and "Sophisticated Giant". His studio and performance career spanned over 40 years.

Gordon's sound was commonly characterized as being "large" and spacious and he had a tendency to play behind the beat. He was known for inserting musical quotes into his solos, with sources as diverse as "Happy Birthday" and well known melodies from the operas of Wagner. This is not unusual in jazz improvisation, but Gordon did it frequently enough to make it a hallmark of his style. One of his major influences was Lester Young. Gordon, in turn, was an early influence on John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Rollins and Coltrane then influenced Gordon's playing as he explored hard bop and modal playing during the 1960s.

Gordon was known for his genial and humorous stage presence. He was an advocate of playing to communicate with the audience, which was his musical approach as well. His improvisation was remarkably engaging and intelligent, but never gratuitously complex or unusual. It was always a conversation simultaneously delightful and intellectual. One of his idiosyncratic rituals was to recite lyrics from each ballad before playing it.

A photograph by Herman Leonard of Gordon taking a smoke break at the Royal Roost in 1948 is one of the iconic images in jazz photography...

Gordon was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in the Bertrand Tavernier film Round Midnight (Warner Bros, 1986) '...

This album represents almost or maybe all of Dexter's recorded output for the entire 50's decade, due to his spending most of that time behind bars. He refused to write about it when preparing his biography. His widow/manager Maxine couldn't convince him to include those years. He told her if she wanted to, she could research and write about it (the two didn't meet until the mid-70's). So she did. www.amazon.de...

@RevRabb: you can read about the insane anti-drug codes in LA during the 50's - the so-called "internal possesion of drugs" laws. Incomprehensibly stupid and unconstitutional. Needle marks or dilated, or contracted pupils was enough to get you tossed in the slammer. Needless to say, most of those characteristics were observed and acted on in cases of brown-skinned people.

I don't think I've ever listened to Dex for this long at a stretch. His quotes remind me a bit of Johnny Griffin; his held notes, Booker Ervin. But maybe that's just the Double Rum Babaschenko talking? Yes, please, barkeep -- it's only scientific to have a second one review the work of the first.

Cheers, David-in-London. Here's baba in your schenko.

I think almost everyone was influenced by Dexter. Coltrane said he def was, and I can imagine Griffin in particular wanted to get that enormous, spacious tone too.

The cool thing is that Dex said Coltrane influenced him in turn when he went for the modal stuff.

Makes sense. Griffin: little guy, playing big. Very big.

Hey Stork -- I'm catching up after missing the last bit of your show. The Lionel Hampton track, "Apple Core," is Gerry Mullligan's bari sax (not Dexter). (Good stuff in any case!)
