notes, Dexter morgan: serial killer

Product Information

Pres stayed around ninths—he must have listened to Ravel and Debussy—but Bird went all the way up the scale. His first important gig was with Lionel Hampton (1940-1943) although, due to Illinois Jacquet also being in the sax section, Gordon did not get any solos. He had this relaxed, behind-the-beat way of playing that made him swing harder than most of the saxophone players. Three years later, Gordon would sign with Columbia and relocate to the Apple to embark on his efflorescent final act.

The amount of autotune doesn't quite ruin it for me, but I wish they would've laid off it a bit more, because those mildly robotized vocals really clash against the tender, haunting piano and string parts behind them. Dexter has also displayed guarding issues in his previous homes, and as such, he needs a controlled introduction to visitors in his new home. Gordon finds some changes he can dig into on two takes of “Airegin,” a Sonny Rollins line that debuted on a 1954 Miles Davis quintet session for Prestige. John Young solos, Ammons ripostes, and the tenors banter to a conclusion over an extended, sloppy vamp.He navigates the sweet changes of Tadd Dameron’s “Lady Bird” with swinging lusciousness; at Schlitten’s instigation, the tenors juxtapose Dameron’s melody with “Half Nelson,” a Miles Davis variant that the trumpeter recorded on his first leader session, in 1947, with Charlie Parker on tenor saxophone. Instead of just adding the code that lets you put dex into the inventory, I replaced it with the base. Fittingly, the 88th and final track is a rousing Dexter Gordon–Gene Ammons tenor battle, augmented by Nat and Cannonball Adderley, on a spontaneous Ammons riff titled “’Treux Bleu,” in honor of the venue.

By 1965 he’d recorded four freewheeling albums under Don Schlitten’s supervision, two with an anything-goes rhythm section—iconoclastic stride-to-avant pianist Jaki Byard, virtuoso bassist Richard Davis and Boston drum giant Alan Dawson. He married 32-year-old Elizabeth Frothingham, a rich widow, and he then bought a mansion with the money. Fourteen years later, the pulse on this blues stomp shifts from mid tempo to a sleek up-medium, and Gordon devours the changes in his updated manner.

He was advised to send bed warmers—used to heat beds in the cold New England winters—for resale in the West Indies, a tropical area.

A slick klook-a-mop figure on the hi-hat and a tasty Hawes intro escort Gordon into the theme, and without further ado, boosted by Clarke’s crisp, inventive timekeeping, he essays a joyous declamation. LTD annotator Larry Hollis counts 11 Gordon choruses on the set-opening “Broadway,” a flagwaver whose co-composer, tenorist Teddy McRae, brought the youngster to Armstrong in 1944. When he resurfaced with Blue Note in the early Sixties, he was already playing with heavier articulation and swaggering swing, and more so by the late Sixties.

Dexter’s nightmare ice fishing sequence in the opening episode (“Cold Snap”) is an apt metaphor for this doublement, offering the same ghostly passenger (Harry) but in a new package (Debra), disturbing us with the hauntingly familiar structure presented in an unfamiliar manner.

Dexter did things when he was living in Copenhagen that he never was able to do before,” says Maxine Gordon. It was originally issued on The Wardell Gray Memorial Album, and is the first of the 88 tracks that comprise The Complete Prestige Recordings of Dexter Gordon.
