【Jazz talk :271】Dexter Calling...




Dexter Calling... is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded in 1961 and released on the Blue Note label in 1962.[2] "Soul Sister", "I Want More" and "Ernie's Tune" were written for the Los Angeles production of the play The Connection by Jack Gelber in 1960. Dexter Calling was Gordon's second album for Blue Note, and was recorded three days after Doin' Allright, his first album for the label.




Dexter Gordon (February 27, 1923 – April 25, 1990) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and actor. He was among the most influential early bebop musicians, which included other greats such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell. Gordon's height was 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm), so he was also known as "Long Tall Dexter" and "Sophisticated Giant". His studio and performance career spanned more than 40 years.
