4 minutes 20 seconds of some of the greatset tenor playing ever captured on film. Watch this closely......watch Dex' Body langauge.....See him figure where to next.....four choruses of tenor genius.......once in a liftime solo......(though Dex had many of them) just when you think he's done......he takes it to the next level. the drummer is my long late pal Oliver Jackson.....who was a teacher .....and a great friend.
Very inspiring. Makes me want to get a new reed. Where are the young lion tenor players? Most of the new young 20-30 yr olds sound like 95 years old with emphysema.
The tune is"Fried Bananas".Dexter is in great form.Junior Mance is on the piano,Martin Rivera on bass.Thanks a lot dilberg,You sure have some great videos,keep up the good work!
The swagger.....the breathing.....the way he played....., hell, Just the way he was,........
will never be another like him......I've heard the wannabee's ....and no one will ever duplicate this guy.

I love Sonny and Trane but there was something unique about Dexter. Can't explain it but he was THE MAN.
