DEX should've won an Oscar for this amazing role !!!...was one of my favourite musicians .
And for this one as well.... ruclips.net/video/zKPFIDoB7D0/видео.html
He was nominated actually but didnt get it cuz he isnt rly an actor. That and probably some racism
@@nickh-w1563 Paul Newman had never won one after years of being nominated and they had to give it to him. It's pretty cool that Dex was even nominated, it was a small film and they could easily have ignored it.
I saw Round Midnight in a small art theater on the first day of its release.... Only movie I've ever seen where not one person got up until every last note of the final credits.
And then, 100 people stood as one, and gave it a standing ovation.
Your comment gave me chills and goose bumps. Lovely. Thank you, James
its a brilliant film
Great comment. Small art theatres showing films like Round Midnight are rare round my way. Maybe studio 5 in a multiplex matinee with six people eating popcorn and rustling sweet paper before walking out after ten minutes. Wonderful film though.
When you hear him, you now it's him. And you know he's talking to you.
God bless you, Dexter Gordon.
We were living in DC in the mid 80s when this movie came out.The morning after the second time I saw it I had to take the train to Baltimore. I'm walking down the long runway to the trains, only me and the most gorgeous Elder I had ever seen. As we passed each other I nodded and she graced me with a smile. I was so enthralled by her stately beauty that I hadn't noticed the extra tall man way behind her slowly meandering down the hall was Dexter Gordon. I calmed myself. "Dexter Gordon is that you?" He stooped over and attempted to focus on me. He put out his hand accompanied by a massive grin. We shook hands, his fingers reaching halfway up my forearm. I said, "Man, I just saw "'round Midnight" last night. You know you're alive just to bear witness, right?" He straightened up and reared back so far for a moment I thought he might fall backwards. He said something completely unintelligible, somehow stayed on his feet and impossibly grinned even more broadly. He was still rumbling something as he walked away. Dex was completely drunk at 6:40 in the morning. I stood there watching him ever so slowly heel-toeing away. The gorgeous Elder was waiting for him. As Dex approached her she took his arm and asked, "What did he say? Did he like the movie?" I could not make out Dex's response and wondered whether she could, but I watched them 'til they turned out of sight into the train station. I would not have cared if I had missed my train.
Yes, Dexter Gordon and the gorgeous Elder were dressed immaculately; both in suits and top coats. He had on a pork pie hat pushed back exposing his wrinkled forehead and raised eyebrows.
@@mharm1017 shit, man, thank you for this comment. I’ve just imagined all that...SPECTACULAR!
Tears drop from my eyes ...
Notes come out of my sax.
😥 still missing that man who one day was walking between us... A tremendous artist, one of the deepest soul, a genius.
He still walks amongst us...
As this scene wonderfully shows, Dexter Gordon was, among other things, one of the great ballad players in all of Jazz. Over & over, one catches oneself holding one's breath in a kind of suspense, waiting to hear how he will turn each new phrase into something that seems musically inevitable & emotionally true, the very moment it's complete--which he invariably does.
This has to be one of my favorite versions of this tune.
The essence of what we all, call Jazz.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
What's the name of movie?
@@baxasaxRound Midnight
One of the most beautiful movies in the world!
I fully agree.
+Alexandre Sartori which movie is this?
please
soulbody this movie it's called Round Midnight
+Alexandre Sartori ooops..like the standard,,,
thanks ill check it
What movie was this
One feels thrashed by genius, ruined and crushed by love, by great art, and we all know how we are in a shadow of reverence, of respectful love, but learning...
Society Red, AKA Long Tall Dexter, is 100 TODAY! Happy Birthday!
Beautiful is the right word to describe this film, there really is not another like it, people might say, genius or must see, both true but in the end beautiful is simply the best.
I'm crying .... i don't know why but i am.......
I’m new of the best films ever made portraying the life of a musician. No actor could ever could do a better job than what Dexter Gordon does here.
Tears drop from my eyes ...
I am a sax player. I recorded this tune in my quartet first CD.
After seeing this video i'll never play this tune the same way...
Thank you Mr Dexter Gordon
Dextor was just magical to ears.
Give it up for Dexter Gordan, Pierre Michelot, John Mclaughlin, Herbie Hancock and Billy Higgins
I met Dex in NYC. It was my birthday and he signed a record and gave me some of his joint. Saw this flick when it came out. This piece still make me, at 59, ball my eyes out. Not to mention when Frances gets the letter under the door and finds out Dale died. Can't take it.
I’m watching high and I love it! Long live Dexster!
One of the greatest clips ever.I never get enough of it.Pure joy. What a talent.
This is love expressed as music.
Very good definition Bessie99
Dexter Gordon, the Master, period.
This is how music sounds like in Heaven!! This scene is deep!!
To me, this is the best version of Body & Soul, bar none.
I would bring this to the desert island or the end of the world...
Incredible, a towering, great film.
This is life expressed as music
Beautiful! Wonderful to see and hear Dexter and the band.Unusual for John McLaughlin to play such a minimalist guitar solo, rather than his usual "shredding"; but it works a treat!
ahah ah at the end of that track he could not resit shredding a bit - in the movie you can also see Dexter's face whe he hears McLaughlin shredding
Period approriate, no?
At 1:56 is a cameo by Francis Paudras
whose book Dance of the Infidels: A Portrait of Bud Powell was used as the basis for this film Round Midnight.
Instead of a pianist like in the book, Dexter Gordon, a friend of Bud Powell was able to play the character but as a saxophonist.
The book is a great insight into what the jazz scene was like in Europe. And says a lot about the author's integrity, he and his wife took in Bud Powell as a family member
and looked after him and became his guardian the story is real testament to friendship and the love Paudras had for the music.
A film about Bud Powell and the original Paudras story on screen would be really great.
It is sad when a great innovator who gave their life completely to the art form and transforms that art form and then dies destitute.
cheers to you Bud Powell and Francis Paudras!
Greatest jazz movie ever.
The tone master! One of the reasons I'd like to have a time machine
Dexter made me love Jazz
we lost Dexter shortly after the making of the movie round midnight.R.I.P.
I remember this movie, great movie, great music
Wow!! Double Wow!!! I am not really a fan of Jazz per se, but seeing and listening to this classic song played this way by one of the greats is just heaven! Anyone who loves music can appreciate this. Dexter's playing here and throughout this marvelous film is superb! His acting is also wonderful. In fact the entire film is a knockout! I urge, compell and implore everyone to see this masterpiece of a film. Granted, there aren't many in the genre, but this has to be the best jazz film ever made. An vastly underrated gem!
+Thomas Leary Mr Dexter Gordon's first film & he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. It was well deserved. The is a must see movie !!!
deep and spiritual, mr. gordon, thank you for your inspiration in life and music, always.
I love this scene
I always keep coming back to this interpretation. It is the most unique.
Just beautiful
this SOUNDS amazing and im amazed at how good every instrument sounds presuming this was done in one take
Absolutely Dex & his music will always be inspiring for the soul
To all of those who have criticised the playing,musical genre, syncopation ,chord progressions ,birth dates ,periods in time and general criticism. I ENJOYED THIS FILM. I play alto and baritone . Can't read music at all but can follow changes by ear instantly .
Can you tell the difference between this version and the one on the soundtrack?
A great performance expressing the essence of the jazz scene. Dexter. An old master.
It would've been amazing if they filmed this in black and white. Still, the film is quite spectacular!
Dexter tu es Magique 🙏
Never gets old just better Dex big love
Haunting...
Love the reverse image and black and white. 👌
Beautiful.
MARAVILLOSO
下手うまの極致、素晴らしい、デクスターの名演! こんな名手が、一見、下手そうに吹くと凄い味が出てくる。私もこの境地を目指したい。偉大な巨星を惜しむばかりです。
A great man.
That is just beautiful

Thank you for the upload.
Thank YOU.
dim1309 having a conversation without saying a word !!!! Just cool that's all !!! Thanx
Loved the "Prisoner of Love" quote, harkening back 40 years to his days with the Eckstine band.
A member's expression and the scene where Hancock does not give alcohol are the highest.
Amazing...
MASTER OF SAX SOUND
Solo alcune lacrime dopo tanta gioia musicale 😞
giant steps harmony quote @ 2:20
I like that bit too!
Maybe a lot of people don't note this consciously, but how very much wonder a movie gains filming a real live performance, instead of the usual play-back! Well, you need some real musicians...this case is special because is a masterwork
soooooooooooooooo good :)
Super!
fantastic Dexter...
Straordinario!!!
Firenze, io e la mia ragazza entriamo quasi per caso in un piccolo cinema con le poltrone verdi, completamente vuoto....un'esperienza onirica, travolgente, Grazie Bertrand
Dex acts. Brilliant!
Extraordinary.
Dexter, el mago del saxo!

@Hb35Jazz : 'Round Midnight. Director : Bertrand Tavernier (1986)
Thanks my friend.
Real music
Many people asking what film this is from(!). But how about a round of applause for Herbie Hancock's inspired alternative chord sequence?
Susi the B - einschalten!
N.B.This is Dexter playing Body & Soul in the ROLE of a DRUNK sax player.
Oscar!!!
Pois é assim que eu gosto de ouvir um saxofone , , sempre mais alma do que corpo. ◦♫◦ : . ʝαʑʑ.: ◦♫◦
Uau!!!
Même mcLaughlin parvient à jouer avec retenue et élégance. Il sert très bien l'immense talent de Dexter Gordon.
that ligature is hanging by a thread!
Dexter used to play like that un his link... Wonder why he didn't do it wen he played on his dukoff hollywood. 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ
