@LizFixsen Dex always kind of played straight and slightly behind the beat.

This is dex you guys dont hear that phrasing and tone?

I listen to this and it reminds me of the opening section of Dex's '71 Monmartre video where he is warming up in the back room before going to the club to perform "Those Were the Days". Without playing over a band, sitting in a chair, Dex had an airy, soft tone that is similar to this recording. Many elements of Dex's style appear here, like the use of low notes, the occasional vibrato and the humorous pitch of the final note. It seems to me that this is Dexter Gordon, recorded in a quiet room

Coleman Hawkins swung harder than Dex.
Do your homework.

...umm this is definitely not Dexter Gordon.. way too sloopy for Dex but pretty good for GGCJB. Keep up the good work man.
No one could swing like this cat.
