Dex at Carnegie Hall..... a place he once told me he never thought he'd play.
This was his power quartet here..... George Cables on Piano, Rufus Reid on Bass, and the great Eddie Gladden on drums.....I was at this show with my wife, who was unfamiliar with jazz in general, and Dexter in particular..... after she heard this first song, she turned to me and said
"Who the hell is this guy?????"
I simply replied"The Alpha and Omega of tenor players....Jazz fans....count the quotes from other tunes.
