About the artist

Dexter Gordon

Dexter Gordon: The Cool Cat of Jazz When it comes to saxophonists, Dexter Gordon was the epitome of cool. With his towering frame and effortless swagger, Gordon brought a sense of sophistication and style to the world of jazz. Born in Los Angeles in 1923, Gordon quickly made a name for himself on the jazz scene, playing alongside the likes of Lionel Hampton and Charlie Parker. But it wasn't until he moved to New York in the 1940s that he truly found his groove. Gordon's smooth, smoky sound and impeccable sense of timing captivated audiences and critics alike, earning him a legion of devoted fans and a string of acclaimed recordings. His album "Go!" is considered a classic of the hard bop genre, showcasing Gordon's incredible talent and versatility. But it wasn't just Gordon's music that captivated listeners – it was also his larger-than-life personality. With his trademark pork pie hat and penchant for storytelling, Gordon was a true original, a larger-than-life figure who lit up the stage wherever he went. Sadly, Gordon's life was not without its struggles. He battled addiction for much of his career, spending time in prison and struggling to stay on the straight and narrow. But through it all, his music remained a constant source of joy and inspiration for fans around the world. Today, Dexter Gordon may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on. His music continues to inspire a new generation of musicians, reminding us all of the power of creativity, talent, and above all, cool. So next time you're feeling down, just put on a Dexter Gordon record and let the smooth sounds wash over you - you'll be glad you did.
