I attended this gig along with Kirk Lightsey and we both took some great photos of this historic session.Dexter played Laura and Bud Johnson did a great Alone Together Arnett Cobb was also outstanding. Wish I could hear music like that now

1979, Dexter Gordon, is not playing. He is on the money with his saxophone! Just saying.

[@imbees2]

These dudes are not playing. Dueling saxs!!!!

[@imbees2]

Sorry, before I even listen, ain't no beating Dexter on this saxophone. Nope!

[@jimcapone2593]

Hmmmm sort of a train wreck...Dexter being arrogant taking a longer solo than he should have and playing Illinois solo which he knew its what illnois always started that solo with.. a lot of ego on that stage. .

[@mattgros86]

Yeah that’s funny

[@matthewmayers1922]

The quote Dex played was a both compliment and humorous. The other players laughed. Also, his solo was not long at all. Your criticism of Dex and calling this amazing performance a train wreck demonstrates there is something seriously wrong with you.

[@wardellmobley]

Listen to the music more. Learn about the culture more. Maybe you might understand the jokes. It's okay. At this point these men have known each other for almost 30 years. This is not their first rodeo.
