Movie Reviews of Jazz Icons: Dexter Gordon Live in '63 & '64
Movie Review: Long Tall Dexter (LTD)
Summary: 5 Stars
There have been many sax players during the short jazz history... few stand out.... Dexter is one of them...and except the trumpet in early years...sax probably is THE instrument associated with jazz after the 40's....picture a late night foggy night inside a smoked filled club...you see a musician playing a jazz ballad...well that's what you get in this DVD....
Dexter had come up right during the be-bop years...unlike the sax players before him who had one leg into swing era and one into the new be-bop...Dexter was all be-bop...and later hard-bop...
In my opinion there are very few sax players that can squize the juice out of a BALLAD and dexter was one of them...in this DVD..he does You've Changed and What's New...nobody can play the ballad quite like Dexter...on other upbeat tunes..he has a way of ..climbing the mood with layer after layer which you can see and hear it on this DVD...with great picture and amazing sound....lots of sax players' styles have been copied ..but you can't copy Dexter...you know it's him from 10-miles away..very definit staring note and ending note....he was the ultimate COOL DUDE....if someone says I like to hear or see a good vintage jazz DVD...this is it...buy it...!!
Watch this DVD..see how COOL this guy was....I have most of his CD's..and could not wait to get this DVD to see him in person..during the hight of his career. You get it all in this DVD...
