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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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..

I agree. It's very rich, I think the thickness is what makes it unique.
Watching and hearing this makes my world richer :-)
We stand on the shoulders of our great Musicians whose music is eternal.
I love the sound of Dexter Gordon!!
Who doesn't??😮😮
My old friend Dexter Gordon was allways worth listen to. Everytime new ideas with this wonderful dark sound.
It's much easier playing at breakneck speed that playing this slowly and this accurately.

Im sorry , but you're really dumb ;)
No problem. You should consider another concert
Are you drunk?
I just think you don't love the jazz lexicon unconditionally.
Are you serious ?
