Daddy Plays The Horn
Dexter Gordon
Considered one of the first bebop tenor
saxophonists, Dexter Gordon (1923-1990)
possessed a very distinctive and profound sound.
Some of the best-remembered moments of his
superlative career were his tenor battles with
fellow tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray from 1947
to 1952 and his leading role as an actor in the film
'Round Midnight in 1986, for which he received an
Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. After a
period of his life, in the early 1950s, when he was
deeply submerged in a chronic drug addiction,
Dexter was miraculously able to reignite his career
in the latter part of 1955. After several years of
being out of the spotlight, he resurfaced on the Big
Apple-based Bethlehem label with Daddy Plays
the Horn. Joining him are Kenny Drew on piano,
Leroy Vinnegar on bass, and Lawrence Marable on
drums. This was Gordon's first collaboration with
Drew (1928-1991), with whom he'd work and record
intensively throughout the 1960s and 1970s after
both musicians settled in Europe.
