Very good. I would ... ( 1 year ago by LazySaxman)
Very good. I would have rather heard some more Dex than listen to that dutch guy at the end. The song at the end called "King Neptune" is titled "Kong Neptune" On the album I have. Odd.
That dutch guy is ... ( 1 year ago by baloniousdunc)
That dutch guy is one of the greatest bass players in the world and certainly qualified to talk about anything jazz related. Althought I must admit I would rather listen to Dexter as well -no slight to Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen.
NHOP is Danish. I ... ( 1 year ago by gregwaits)
NHOP is Danish. I enjoyed hearing what he had to say. He was THE bass player in the 60s in Scandanavia, and he played with everyone. ("that dutch guy" lol)

what I like about ... ( 1 year ago by GumUnderBootCamp)
what I like about Dexter Gordon is that there is no trying to follow his train of thought. Wherever his thoughts go...it's always a suprize. You can't predict it.

That Dutch guy????. ... ( 6 months ago by kevinherbert)
That Dutch guy????..Nils was playing with Count Basie when he was 18 years old..he's a virtuoso!!!!!!!!!!
I just worship LTD ... ( 5 months ago by synthjazz)
I just worship LTD (Dex) - the ultimate in tenor players - he followed the great founders of bebop, but made his own unique sound - no one can even come close!! What a goal to aspire to!!
What I loved about ... ( 5 months ago by NewHarpGuy)
What I loved about Dexter, was hit big , FAT tone.
His solo on Society Red (from his Doing Alright LP) is one of the best ever, on the tenor sax!

kevinherbert;
Neils Henning-Orsted Pedersen was Danish.
(excuse me for trying to sound smug)
He was a gem of a guy and probably one of the greatest bassists in history.

synthjazz;
I couldn't agree with you more.
Hopefully you got a chance to see Dexter play live.(?)
I saw him at Ronnie Scott's Club around 1977.
I went back several times in one week because i was so impressed with his sophisticated personality.
His stage presence was BIG and so was his sound.

gregwaits;
Such a shame NHOP is also not with us anymore.
I always like listening to what Neils had to say. He is equally a legend today.
Array ( 3 months ago by synthjazz)
Hi TD51!!
NO!!....I never got to see LTD play live at Ronnies - even though I was in London during that period - I did get to see Ron himself play though - and he was a cool dude - pity he had to bow out the way he did. Another sad loss for the Jazz world!!
Array ( 3 months ago by taildragger51)
synthjazz;
I was so knocked out by LTD that i saw him three nights in a row.
He was drinking straight gin/vodka from huge tumblers! He could hardly stand but he played superbly.
I recall he did a version of "Autumn Leaves" that lasted half an hour (it was in October)
Ronnie Scott was a superb sax player but difficult guy to get on with.
I recall the night he rowed with Dizzy Gillespie.
Dizzy came onstage and messed around on congas..never played a note on the horn!

Dexter Gordon was the meaning of "COOL".
That famous poster of him at 'The Roost' sums it all up.
Dude, that's SO ... ( 3 months ago by synthjazz)
Dude, that's SO long ago for me-30 yrs now - kicking myself for not paying attention back then - I was a college kid! Swear I saw Diz on some occasion, and also Dave Holland - but Dex is the man! First album I heard him on was the Bluenote double album - on Hanky Panky!!
I really get dissed in swing band because I put my SR mpc on, and lay it back like Dex - comments from the bandleader..Jeez Tenor 1 - quit draggin' your behind!!! (LOL!! - the rhythm section don't 'get it'!!)
