Dexter spanned/overlapped evolving styles- swing bands to bebop, ballads, and beyond. He not only evolved, but led the way. His tone was always powerful and resonant with no doubt about the notes he was playing. From his 10M and Dukoff Hollywood to his Mark VI and Otto Link stm, his sound demanded your attention.

He and Hank Mobley had a lot in common.

I was at this show. I would of been 17 years old at most. Fantastic performance. This little club on the Iowa State campus in Ames Iowa booked the greatest jazz acts of the time. Mingus played there. The place only held around 180 people. Great times!

I was fortunate enough to see this same quartet at Keystone Corner. I once remember LTD stumbling thru the crowd, late? mid set when Woody was playing there. He was onstage with axe in his hand on the next tune and just played his ass off. Oh, the cover was $3.50, 2 drink minimum.

Yes folks, I remember when Dex came over to Germany around 1980 I think, playing in my hometown Goettingen. Between the sets I told him my request playing "It's you or no one" in the upcoming set - and he did, I never will forget that. He had Eddie Gladden (drums), Kirk Lightsey (piano), and (I forgot the bassplayer) probably Santi DiBriano. Anyway it was awesome!!

I have been blessed enough to see Dexter Gordon perform several times, however, one of my greatest memories was when he was at Clark University's radio station WCLK one Saturday morning and they asked for folks to come by. I was at home listening, grabbed up my two year old son and went straight to the station. When we met and talked Dexter, in his deep, graveled voice greeted my son who immediately became frightened and began to cry. Dexter jumped back as I tried to console my son. Things settled...to this day my son of thirty-five years old still enjoys Dexter's music; naturally I am still blessed to do so. Thank you Dex for such wonderful sounds and memories.

Dexter Gordon had already worked in the bands of Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong, and Billy Eckstine, and he was among the very first players to adapt the innovations of Charlie Parker to the tenor saxophone, creating his own voice out of an amalgam of Parker and Lester Young. Gordon's sound was already his own, a harder-edged tenor sound with very little vibrato, and there's evidence as well of the striking harmonic imagination that would later influence even John Coltrane.
