my heroes!

How did I know that the warmth of the glow would last.

How did I guess that the long loneliness was past.

I merely looked at you and I knew that I knew.

It's you or no one for me

I'm sure of this each time we kiss

Now and forever and when forever's done

You'll find that you are still the one

Dexter Gordon had already worked in the bands of Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong, and Billy Eckstine, and he was among the very first players to adapt the innovations of Charlie Parker to the tenor saxophone, creating his own voice out of an amalgam of Parker and Lester Young. Gordon's sound was already his own, a harder-edged tenor sound with very little vibrato, and there's evidence as well of the striking harmonic imagination that would later influence even John Coltrane.

Eddie Gladden is a monster.

... yes, now I remember, it was David Eubanks (not J. Heard). Thanks for your help. But the vid here shows Rufus Reid ... Dex the man, always blowed the hell out of it ...

[ColmOSullivanRed]

@tonartification Probably David Eubanks on bass (or, if an older man, John Heard, who did it briefly - perhaps one European tour).
