He was a Beautiful Brother. When I immigrated tom the U.S. in 1968, November 2nd. I heard that long, tall Dexter was nominated for an Oscar; and I was bowled over. I cannot believe that was the same Brother.

A Beautiful Brother indeed. Indeed,Indeed,Indeed. I wished that he had never picked up a cigarette, for he died of cancer, a short time later.

Whereever he is, I know that Long Tall Dexter is BLOWING HIS CHOPS OFF.

[jojod06]

From America, who was out of the U.S. Navy. I vannot believe thatthis same Brother was nominated for an Oscar in the movie, 'Round Midnight. America, should mbe fucking ashamed of itself for not giving these Gifted Brothers Jobs. Shame on you, America. Shame, Shame, Shame.

This is a Beautiful Brother. He was long, lanky, deep brown and freckle face.

He was an Id

Itis My Beautiful Brother Dexter Gordon. I stood up with him, in the sixties, opposite the Gyllene Cirkeln/The Golden Circle. It is a Jazz and supper club in Stockholm, Sweden.

It had to be 1965, as I entered in to America for the second time card, which was in 1968, November. This Brother stood up with a few other Brothers, on the streets of Stockholm, Sweden. We had a blast man. The Brother was mostr gracious to rap with us from Africa, and me, from Guyana, South America, and another Brother

I like Ben Webster.but it's Dexter Gordon played I know it's good too.

[jincam1000]

sorry

[Martypix69]

No doubt at all. Dex from the deleted 1965 Blue Note album 'Clubhouse'. Co-written by Frank Sinatra, this track is called 'I'm A Fool To Want You'. It also appeared on Dexter's 'Ballads' collection. The Clubhouse LP sat in the vaults for 10 years before getting a release. It has now been remastered by Rudy Van Gelder himself and is finally available on Blue Note CD. Unmissable for any fan of Dexter Gordon.

I clicked to hear a Ben Webster ballad....But hey, Dexter Gordon ballads sound good too ;)

[mrmelodious1]

My God woman can't you hear it's the great Dexter Gordon. "I'm A Fool To Want You". Blue Note. Mark down as law. That's DEXTER GORDON lady. DEXTER GORDON. Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon were two different animals. Mark it down as law. DEXTER GORDON!

[cha5]

I love this music,

And I really appreciate the New York pictures,

Jazz and New York

are two things I'll always have a passion for.

[flyvefisken]

nice music, nice sound, nice fellows?

[tubeyourvideo]

IT'S DEXTER GORDON !!!!!!!!

[flyvefisken]

it's saxophone, it's jazz, by my humble opinion

[Chordwayze]

Sounds a bit like Webster to me, (I play guitar so I am no expert on different sax players' styles and tones.) Most definitely it is 'Fool to Want You.'...

Whatever, it's cool.

Dexter Gordon "Ballads"

[jazzflutist]

Yes, must be Dexter. Webster has a terminal vibrato followed by air rush on all his long notes. Dexter has a clearer sound, almost no vibrato and just a tad of air after each note. Also, I have the Dexter recording (same).

[racatua]

Is Dexter. I'm a fool to want you. wow!!!

[kevinm107]

Yes, its Dexter Gordon playing "Every Time You Say Goodbye" As someone said, its from his "Ballads" album. I just listened to it on Napster. Its identical. The piano intro and then, at 14 seconds, the horn comes in.

[madusaman]

That's Dexter Gordon, not Ben Webster. Pls. correct this, thank you.

[Davebee63]

Definitely not Webster- I've listened to him steadily for over 45+years and certainly sounds like Dexter to me.

[satancock]

thank you, jazzflutist. a long time ago, a literature prof of mine introdced me to webster. i cried. that motherfucker can play a sax...

[debbsaxx]

It's Dexter. The tone is very similar to Ben's but notice there's no heavy vibrato which is Ben's trademark along with his breathiness. Amazon shows Dexter playing this EXACT song on the CD called Ballads. If you really want to be confused, listen to the song called Blue Lester (Young) and you'll see Prez can also pass as Webster ... it's also at Amazon.

[jazzflutist]

Wow. I vote this piece to end all world wars and establish everlasting peace throughout the entire earth. Damn, dreaming again ...

[satancock]

no, you guys it is totally ben webster, listen to the embrouchure and now you know. Webster always leaks air out of his sax, with thaat gasping breathy sound. fuck you it's ben webster, so pay attention suckas.

[jazzflutist]

You're talkin satancock. I hear ya.

Cheers

[vincelahorra]

Yup, it's Dexter!

[jcfh2001]

Dexter Gordon for sure, have the item and some of you above, forgot the title of song.

[frankpearce]

This Dexter guys. Come on. Get the album.

[blackjackbob777]

my pop thinks it's Dexter ... notes drop off in a distinctive way

[linde227]

If this is Ben Webster i'm nuts, this is Dexter Gordon!

[dturiso]

Yes, this great ballad is from Dexter's album Clubhouse recorded on 1965. The theme is untittled 'I'm a Fool To Want You'. The trumpetist is Freddie Hubbard.

Greetings from Spain

[3via]

I love this soo much! Which Dexter Gordon piece is this?

Does anybody know the name of this piece?

[GeneralTarik]

"Clubhouse" is out of print. You can get this version of the old standard "I'm A Fool To Want You" on Dexter Gordon's Blue Note compilation "Ballads"

[laumeister]
