"What´s New" - Dexter Gordon 1963

i am there in the club, just arrived with that Old Devil Moon: Dexter Gordon.

Does he resemble Obama or have I had too much wine?

Every woman in that audience is thinking what they'd name the kids she and Dexter would have. I'm being polite.

Dexter Gordon and Billie Holiday, two timeless artists forever among my favourites.

Kinda looks like President Obama to me.

Outstanding! A real classic! Live it

Barack Obama on tenor sax!

superfine .. just what i've needed  .. thank you.

Dexter had such great sound!Masterful!

Holy cow, what a tone. Great post, thank you.

HATS OFF EVERYONE..!

Envoûtant

Wow...With a speaking voice like that, it's no wonder that he got that sound out of his tenor!

Dexter. What a wonderful man and musician !! Wonderful performance by everyone.

wow man

6 thumbs down?????

I love how he stayed around the melody when he improvised.

wowowowwowo

HOLY SHIT ! That was HEAVY !

What a big head.

Lester died... Dexter lived... now Dexter died... what's new?

Lo maximo que maestro.

What a great Tenor sax player!! Thanks for posting.

So soft, so strong! Magical song!! 🙏

oof ok I just saw Dexter with a lot of sweat...believe me I know how much effort it takes to produce such an awesome sound
mmmmmmmmmm i wanna be like him in the future mmmmmmmmmmm (dies of admiration)

Sweet rendition of a great standard from one of Coltrane's major influences.

The one and only “Long tall” Dexter!

I really like music like this,real soul....im 38years old tho...i dont think im from this era😎

Nobody's has commented his speech before playing the tune. Please consider this was played before 1969. "How's the world treating you ?", "you haven't changed a bit" and "you lovely has ever" were very sarcastic of course.

Most if not all jazz sax players work hard to find a unique saxophone sound. After 25 years, I’m still trying to come close to Dexter’s sound.

Great stuff

Tone isn't too good, a bit hard and his tuning is a bit shakey, some notes are flat, maybe he had a bad day? Solo was nothing special.

Bravo

Great.

He was spice mellow cool in a tall glass

Majestic

He had amazing subtlety. A true master. I remember I first learned of him when I saw the film ``Round Midnight'' in college in 1986. Beautiful film, and I am grateful that it got me started on jazz!

IMO the strongest period for Dexter was the early-mid 60's overseas. Just perfection, never a wasted note.

GREAT SAXOPHONIST UNDER THE SCOURGE OF SNOW,WHAT A SIN!!!!!

Love his tone!!!

Just got hooked on this tune and this version is just great! I love dexter especially on ballads.I realy dig the fact he knows the lyrics, that’s an important tool to have when improvising with a real meaning.many players today learn tunes without ever listening to them sung or at all and even play them wrong sometimes.

Love it ❤❤❤❤
