Dexter Gordon - Star Eyes

[@olebirgerpedersen]

I miss him. A good friend and a wonderful tenorplayer.

I always loved Dexter's music, it was so solid, always melodic, and that big fat sound. RIP.

[@jasonamberson836]

Yep. Exactly. I even named my cat Dexter.

No better tenor player or rhythm section. I''ll never forget sitting in front of Roy Brooks' high-hat at the Village Vanguard. He simply levitated that basement club above the street. Sonny Stitt practically owned this tune til the day he died. If only those guys had lived 20 years longer.

DEXTER emerges from a melodic corner in which he's painted himself - this is another high intellect piece by Mr Gordon, among many

[@JasonDeCristofaro]

Dexter's solo = a lesson in how to melodically construct a solo.

[@andrewgillis8572]

Dex is the longest counter-melody thinker & supplier I have ever heard - latest discovery, an 8 minute solo on You Stepped Out, from LP called All Souls, 1974, cut in Holland

Dexter Gordon is my No.1 Jazzman. This song, is a Don Raye and Gene DePaul classic, made better by Dex. I saw Dex for the first time at The Village Vanguard, NYC, on or about Saturday, May 16 or 17, 1979. I saw him a few times after. I miss him as well as all otherr jazz great who have left us since. P.S. This brings back memories of an era long ago, an era we'll never see again. R.I.P. Dexter.

Wynton Kelly died only 7 months after this recording.

The song is 6 minutes long, but the vid is 10...
