Dexter was one of the best Jazz tenor saxophonists, ever. His soulful choice of notes and tone could reach the deepest fabric of one's emotional feelings and musical listening experience. His playing of "As time goes by", "Body and Soul"(studio versions, club and movie stints ) and his "Tivoli" ( with soprano sax), clearly demonstrate his greatness.
2:41-2:53 s 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.
O Elvis Costelo e o Miles Davis estão sentados na platéia, e o pianista é o herbie hancock . Estão nessa Cena como se estivessem numa máquina do tempo, assistindo ao vivo um momento que aconteceu 40 anos atrás, num bar chamado Blue Note, berço do Cool Jazz. Montagem maravilhosa. Os artistas contemporâneos alí presentes vivenciaram uma momento do passado, vivido pelo verdadeiro Dexter Gordon. Lindo demais.
