Year: Tracks: 6  Body and Soul Year: Tracks: 5 Dexter Gordon had such a colorful and eventful animation (with trey split comebacks) that his taradiddle would ready a majuscule Hollywood flick. The top tenor saxist to come forth during the boP era and owner of his accept typical legal, Gordon sometimes was windy and quoted too from other songs, merely he created a heavy body of higher-ranking forge and could conflict well-nigh anyone successfully at a chew session. His offset authoritative gig was with Lionel Hampton (1940-1943) although, due to Illinois Jacquet as well organism in the adolphe Sax section, Gordon did not cause any solos. In 1943, he did get to stretch out on a recording academic session with Nat "Martin Luther King" Cole. Short stints with Lee Young, the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, and Louis Armstrong's vainglorious band preceded his move to New York in December 1944 and becoming piece of Billy Eckstine's Orchestra, trading off with Gene Ammons on Eckstine's recording of "Blowin' the Blues Away." Gordon recorded with Dizzy Gillespie ("Blue 'N' Boogie") and as a leader for Savoy earlier reverting to Los Angeles in the summer of 1946. He was a major piece of the Central Avenue scene, trading off with Wardell Gray and Teddy Edwards in many fabled tenor battles; studio recordings of "The Chase" and "The Duel" helped to document the air of the menses. After 1952, drug problems resulted in some poky time and periods of inactiveness during the fifties (although Gordon did record deuce albums in 1955). By 1960, he was recovered and before long he was recording a consistently rewarding series of dates for Blue Note. Just when he was restoration his former popularity, in 1962 Gordon stirred to Europe where he would stay until 1976. While on the continent, he was in peak form and Gordon's many SteepleChase recordings social rank with the finest exercise of his career. Gordon did render to the U.S. on an episodic base, recording in 1965, 1969-1970, and 1972, merely he was to an extent disregarded in his native commonwealth. It was consequently a major surprisal that his return in 1976 was treated as a major media event. A neat make do of interest group was suddenly shown in the living caption with long lines of people wait at clubs in order to attend him. Gordon was signed to Columbia and remained a popular figure until his gradually worsening health made him semi-active by the early '80s. His third comeback occurred when he was picked to star in the motion picture 'Round Midnight and, even if his performing by then was past its premier, Gordon's playacting was quite realistic and touching. He was nominated for an Academy Award, four-spot years before his death after a selfsame full liveliness. Most of Dexter Gordon's recordings for Savoy, Dial, Bethlehem, Dootone, Jazzland, Blue Note, SteepleChase, Black Lion, Prestige, Columbia, Who's Who, Chiaroscuro, and Elektra Musician are currently available. |
