Dexter Gordon Quartet 1979

[@patrickmcmurray9788]

I was at this show. I think I was 17. One of those musical experiences that change you life.

It's unfortunate that this song never made it to the studio. I think that it's one of the best versions. Lost gems like these were only experienced live. Thanks for sharing!

This clip make the hair stan up on the back of my neck and gives me goose bumps. I feel so fortunate not only to have lived on the earth as the seam time as Maestro Dexter, but to have seen him twice during this period when he came back to the states and made the Homecoming double album. This shit swings so hard with so little effort. Burning with total efficeincy. Thanx for the posting!

Starting off with a classic: on green dolphin street! Dex is the greatest tenor I've heard! He makes simple sound uniquely his, and brings any piece to life! We love you Dex! You are a landmark in history, and a milestone in jazz!

Well, anyway, there I was reading "On the Road" again and saw Dexter Gordon's name mentioned but this time I had also noticed an ad in the Boston Globe that Dexter was back from Europe and going to play at Paul's Mall, a small Boston Club. On one of the coldest nights I've ever gone out in, I took my two younger brothers to the club. The band was this band, and we watched a show that would be something that none of us will ever forget as long as we live. You never know.

[@dizzypeanut]

Man when they hit the turnaround towards the end of Dexter's solo, it's like I'm in church! Killin'!

[@mikefarmer7238]

Dexter had the best sound of all the tenors-not a note wasted-also wrote some great tunes.

Back in the days, I was at Paul's Mall every night. Great spot.

[@jazzuffe]

Fantastic!! long tall Dexter.

[@LeleMelo]

I was just thinking the same thing...man, I love Dexter's tone.

[@pyannaguy]

"Stranger In Paradise" @ 4:05 or so! He was the great at quoting other tunes in his solos. What a cool guy!

[@Aline791]

There better be 0 dislikes

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

... wish the camera guys had thought to adjust that angle on Dex where he's completely blocking Rufus Reid. Jeez, Rufus is the invisible man!

[@samadjhi]

Eddie Gladdin out of Newark Nj

YOU SAW HIM during the recording of "Dextor Gordon - Homecoming, Live At The Village Vanguard" ??? DAM IT! I have that double cd. wish I could have seen it. Too young Though Its My Favorite Spot in NYC... Did you take picutres? hidden? WOW

[@FrictionFive]

Where’s the rest of tune...??? 😩 Beautiful solo by Rufus Reid, Dexter trading with Eddie Gladden, and the hugely epic Coda.
