I just want to say..this man had a beautiful soul..no man can play this beautifully.. without one..I love his playing..rest in peace Grandmaster.

Mr Gordon, Dexter, has always been one of the most prolific artists when it comes to jazz improvisation with the ever-fresh and and original harmony that is only on par and quite often surpassed the super grand maestros of the horn. His stamina to stretch out on his solos can only take out this talent of manipulating the tenor, his musical tool, to his graceful jazzy will as his so ably does so in this balladry standard here. He's really flourishing here in countless bars, with unrelenting effort to give out the beautiful multi-floral bloom that appeals not only to the cognoscenti of the idiom but to those also dying for true love.

Wow! Dexter Gordon y esta excelente versión de "Darn That Dream" suenan a gloria. Con casi dos metros de altura, la carrera de este gigante del jazz, conocido como 'Long Tall Dexter' o 'Sophisticated Giant', se prolongo más de cuarenta años; Tiempo en el que el saxofonista fue de los primeros en adaptar el estilo bebop y el hard bop al saxo tenor. Su primera versión de este tema apareció en el álbum "Daddy Plays the Horn" de 1955, pero este es un directo grabado en Suiza en 1975. #ClassicMonday #Jazz

What gorgeous phrasing on the sax! All the II V chords flow into one another. His legacy will always live on!

[thomashampton]

No one could play a ballad like Dex.. He was the best. Rest in peace long tall...

[happybeach]

[hmlarrain]

These fantastics musicians lived in Copenhagen. We saw them perform quite often in the Montmartre Hus.

His magnificence is unexplainable. The incomparable Kenny Drew the solid Neil Henning-Orsted Peterson and Alex Riel makes this a formidable Quartet. Dexter influenced so many of our greats including John, Sonny and the endless lists of others. This tune he owns. We love you Listen to the CODA, it is a composition within itself.

[Unixilandia]

Dexter Conquers another ballad as only he can. A monster sax player....

This is my favorite photo of Dexter. I hope and pray to one day have it hanging in my home.

[amatijaca]

So pretty. I have all three volumes of Swiss Nights - this is probably my favourite composition on that series.

[NickBoston]

Because without that dream
I wouldn't have you.
