I had the privilege and pleasure to see LTD, Dexter Gordon Live twice when I was Living in Chicago. One Time for free !! In Grant Park on the shore of Lake Michigan,it was a beautiful moon light evening cool breeze blowing on this late summer evening, perfect for LTD to work his magic on his elequently tone sax. The event was pure delight. The other occasion was at Joe Segals Jazz showcase located in the Blackstone Hotel on Michigan Ave. In this magnificent, intimate setting you really get to appreciate the greatness of this giant on tenor sax 🎷 he blew the roof off the showcase. So great I stayed for the final set Thank you LTD,RIP.

Yes I saw him at the blackstone like 3 times and he was gracious enough to let me and my jazz loving friends sit in the front and the rest was magic pure magic RIP dextor there will never be another sax man like you.Lou L.

An artist, a perfectionist and a wonderful jazz musician for tenor saxophone. I love Dexter's ballads and his tone. It is rich, thick and rather sombre. Wonderful music. I wish I learned more of him when he was still around.

[@yinka366]

I agree. It's very rich, I think the thickness is what makes it unique.

[@paulobianchi2577]

I love the sound of Dexter Gordon!!

[@JosephSalinas-r4r]

Who doesn't??😮😮

[@olebirgerpedersen]

My old friend Dexter Gordon was allways worth listen to. Everytime new ideas with this wonderful dark sound.

Jack Garner--- "It's a little thing, but I also love the way he holds out his horn when he bows, letting the sax get some of the props!” Thx Jack for sharing this wonderful video with me! It’s masterful! I loved this 4tet!

[@raybrettman9618]

So true Rick. Privileged to have seen him several times, including a few in this time period. That was his signature. Holding that horn up. And that enormous sound that just about cannot be heard right without being there. The way it would fill up a fairly small room....yikes.

[@bestfouronsix]

Fantastic tone, thanks for this record

[@bestfouronsix]

Gentle Giant of tenor saxophone

[@MauriatOttolink]

It's much easier playing at breakneck speed that playing this slowly and this accurately.

[@normhall1622]

You have to love Dexter. I do.

[@crownpropeller]

Sorry for the abrupt ending. That is all there is.

[@bertilselminger1855]

Long tall Dexter. The greatist of them all!!!!

[@mikefarmer7238]

Great to see Kirk Lightsey taking care of business as always. Dexter does a great rendition.

[@nurettinkorkmaz3870]

Very interesting!

[@najponkjazz9111]

Dexter Lives!!!!

[@raybrettman9618]

Nice. Saw Dex about ten times. Truly appreciated. For historical ac curacies sake that drummers name is Eddie Gladden not Gladders though I imagine most know that.

[@JazzStoryForBullet]

Dexter Gordon (ts), Kirk Lightsey (p), Rufus Reid (b), Eddie Gladden (ds)

[@wilhelmjanbosman4858]

A Vert good person and un exceptional good player

[@olavbe3134]

although a tired Dexter here- he saves breath for the important notes to tell the story of lived life a true artist using only the needed notes-/: words to tell the story like the best writers of short stories . Less is more olav bøe norway

[@erginyilmaztenor]

Love his balads

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

that voice

[@richardbenjamin5364]

Dixie killed the ballads the soul and feeling he put into it rivals no one Richard lake county, California

[@ronaldcarrington4816]

my friend john heard on bass

[@samadjhi]

I wonder if they mean Eddie Gladden on drums?

[@patsirianni7984]

Slow mellow Dexter

[@jiyujizai]

💚🌱🥀🙄

[@bertilselminger1855]

The drummer is Eddie Gladden and nothing else!!!

[@MrFurtner]

Mr. Lightsey war genial wie immer, Mr. Gordon konnte in Burghausen alkoholbedingt kaum noch stehen, brachte aber dank seiner Routine alles doch noch ganz gut über die Bühne.

[@markbra]

Bis du gewesen ?

[@wilhelmjanbosman4858]

Vert is must have been very

[@sickowhale6861]

I love dexter Gordon and the way he makes everything right. But I do not like the instrument saxophone. I feel like the rapid vibraration of the wooden reed is not for the low octaves. I also hate the mixed sound of wood and metal. I appreciate jazz musicians who picked up saxophones but I still do not understand how people really love the sound of saxophone..

[@kpoudavoff]

Im sorry , but you're really dumb ;)

[@hgkpereg]

No problem. You should consider another concert

[@saxlounge2023]

Are you drunk?

[@danvalicenti8945]

I just think you don't love the jazz lexicon unconditionally.

[@lawrencemuller8972]

Are you serious ?
