I met Dexter Gordon, I knew Dexter Gordon - and you, sir, are NO Dexter Gordon

Excuse me, maybe Pepper's heroin was whiter than Dex's...........

AMG doesn't seem to share you feelings on mr. yanow because as i've said, he seems to review 99% of the hard bop stuff.............

you left out the "IMHO"................

from what i've read, piano red is not one of the 25...........

extremely well stated..............

depth in your world, maybe......obviously you're no hipster, and it shouldn't take someone 30 years to determine if they don't like someone........why don't you tell us who your opposite of Dex is, the guy who goes as "deep" as you'd like, the guy whose not under the influence of Robitussen, whoops excuse me, I meant heroin..................

Although it didn't happen often, I too like LTD with a trumpet player, check out "Generations" and "Takin' Off'' with Freddie Hubbard and an obscure Blue Note set "Landslide" with Tommy Turrentine and Dave Burns. My dad played trumpet with Dave Burns in Dizzy Gillespie's band of the late 40's

MartyJazz, I could not have said it better myself.............

as someone previously stated, take your turds from the punch bowl to the toilet bowl where they and you belong. substance, what substance. using your tortured logic, you must not like Art Pepper either

Boring.......didn't someone once say "it takes one to know one".................

Why must you dwell on what made him sound the way he did, you either like his sound/playing or you don't, and, Allen, IF you drink alcohol/coffee or somke cigarettes(I know you wouldn't be smoking anygthing else)go to the DRUG store when you're not feeling well, you'd better stop as drugs, especially the legal ones, are not good for you................

He did quote a lot but it wasn't because he would run out of ideas, he just liked to quote. I don't have a problem with it......

What does BTW mean.................

Almost impossible to ignore such a ridiculous, convoluted, contradictory statement...............

Why not just say it's with strings and let people judge for themselves? I like this record a lot - it's unique in the Dexter catalog, and the string writing is quite interesting. No, I said it exactly like I wanted to say it

This was from late July 1970. Dexter was in Chicago to play with Jug and Byas for a Joe Segal event. The Gordon/Ammons portions were recorded for Prestige. I helped with the sessions. I was not involved with the TV shows made that week and was not in the studio. Chuck, that tape from the '71 gig in Chicago, is it audio or video...........pm reply please.................

Im with you 100% Sterojack............

There are some people I just don't understand. I knew Dexter, stayed with him occasionally while in Copenhagen, and he was no surface hipster, he was the real thing. Piano Red, if you can figure what this guy allen lowe is talking about, let me know..........

30 years and you still don't like Dex..........you're beyond help............

He definitly was the king of quotes.............

Ok, don't listen to me, how about Scott Yanow the main bop/hard bop reviewer of AMG, read his reviews of "Strings and Things" and "More Than You Know" I own 80 of his sessions. This includes all of the Blue Notes, all of the Prestige, and with the exception of the above two, all of the SteepleChase plus sessions from Black Lion/1201, his comeback period on Columbia, his early sessions in L.A. with Wardell Gray and Teddy Edwards, the two Bethlehem sessions. The two above SteepleChase sessions pale in comparison the the rest of his discography. But hey, if you like it more power to you and enjoy............................

Thanks jazzbo, but being one who has no patience, I'll get the LP from Dusty Groove and, if I like it, purchase the cd if/when it comes out............... Just checked Dusty Groove again and at 35 bucks, I might find some patience..........
