DEXTER GORDON - Tenor Madness (music and images)

[IFUCKEDFREUD]

Had to listen twice because the first time all I could listen to was the bass.

[lanesblitz]

The version on the vol III Of Swiss Nights is even mroe beautiful!

[jazzline6993]

does anyone have the transcription of dexters solo?

[Bianteowns]

Many people, when hear blues, think about B.B. King or Diddley. In my mind there's only Gordon playing blues.

[yohannes80]

who is playing the bass?

[mesko1988]

Could somebody upload the Tenor Madness from Swiss Nights Vol. 3 or the whole album please. Thx

[rgs1940]

I sure like the BD Hollywood, Conn10M setup better than the later Selmer, OL deal.

Terrific rhythm section. Cookin'

[djjjamin]

im with all those guys who want 2 know who the bassist is

[iamdarragh]

@djjjamin Niels Pedersen according to iTunes

[bachcontrapunct]

Még1 dolog: who is the bassplayer???

[bachcontrapunct]

Gyerekek ez zene elejétől a végéig!!!Ebben nincs hiba hiába keresel nem találsz!!!!!!

[RedHotChiliPeppernr]

I love it

[Vulturer]

Wooow the bass player is a monster!

[SaXDuDe17]

Some don't rate Gordon alongside the likes of Rollins and Coltrane. But I find his unique musical voice as interesting as Sonny and John. Just saying...

[bigdogsax]

@SaXDuDe17 I perfectly agree with you! I like Sonny, I like Coltrane, but long tall Dex is surely " the third way " of playing tenor saxophone with his unique instrumental voice and his wonderful bop language...Just saying...:-)

[theyuan0624]

神曲!!!

[gmouchta]

Who is the bassplayer?

[danieljones013]

this is madness

[mcmatthewclark]

how can any one "dislike" this?

[SIRONEDRAGON]

VERY cool

[Manoplero]

Wow loved that bass solo, who is he?

[jddenham]

Best recording ever of this song !!! Wish I had a time machine, this would be my first destination !!

[gocards0688]

@jddenham I mean dont get me wrong, its killing. But Sonny and Trane......doesnt get much better than that

[woodrowthewizard]

@gocards0688 ......"but" nothing. That's like saying, "I really think Mozart was great, but Van Gogh, wow, doesn't get much better than that!" No, it doesn't get much better than anyone of those three: Sonny, Trane, or Dexter. That'd be like your mom telling you, yeah, you, my first child, are great, but wow, my second child, doesn't get any better than that!

[gocards0688]

@woodrowthewizard Ok buddy, One: Making a reference to your children and jazz musicians makes no sense

Two: Im not talking about how they play, Im talking about the tenor madness recording they did together. Actually read what im responding to

[theladiesmanou812]

You bring the peanut butter, these guys bring the jam.

[YeahWr1ght]

You got to love that sound.

[peppersax]

Dexter with those long sweeping lines! This dude was off the chain!!!!

[andreomel]

SEVVERO EL ESTILO DE DEXTER Y SU JAZZ LO MEJOR

[siwi6]

in which recording can i find this tune?

[italiarovinata]

@siwi6 : I think it's in "Swiss Nights, Vol 1" but I'm not sure.

[darian1114]

god i love dexter gordon

[hoopla5]

Man, that bass solo!!!

I just love how he starts walking the bass line at then end like he's not even soloing. It's the perfect end to a bass solo.

[theinvisiblelight]

@hoopla5 Thats him telling the band "okay, I'm done. "

[jAzZJaZzSaXx]

he is a hero!

[freddyfuegoNYC]

absolutely kills it. the eight at 9:16 is my fav

[cowinartclass]

i love this version of the song!

[cmaj13]

Does anybody know what album this peace come from ?

[bluesnessman]

if i remember it correctly, the album should be swiss nights vol 3 or something like that.

[Pikmar27]

nope. its in swiss nights volume 1.

[Pikmar27]

Sorry. It is also on volume 3. we're both right.

[yahbitchyah777]

This piece was by Sonny Rollins.

[itagoosh]

LongTall !

[bkjbs762]

yeah, shit, awesome

[Ifrit699]

What session is this off of?

[MOFOPSX]

Una cosa que siempre me agradó de Dexter es que era muy preciso en sus interpretaciones.

[SupahflyJazzguy]

@MOFOPSX Translation: One thing you can always agree with me on is that Dexter was always very precise in his interpretations.

[jedcrowe]

Amazing!

At 1:21-1:23, he quotes Bird's "Ornithology". And at 1:50-1:51, he quotes Miles' "Four". At 2:05-2:06, he quotes Wardell Gray's "Farmer's market".

[Saxyman14]

I like the one picture of Frank Morgan in the middle (6:44), hahaha. Do you know where this recording is from? I need to find the origins of it for transcribing class.

[InternetToughGuyXL]

Another Gem from Dex!

[miranda4391]

sick!!!
