Wonderful tune and soulful solos with a deep groove. Listen to how Dexter Gordon speaks through Jerrys horn.

Funny you should mention that, I've been listening to Dexter Gordon on a YouTube loop:

Thanks for sharing!

Older video. FWIW, his hair is quite a bit grayer now and he's using a 10* slant and an original 10* early babbit instead of the Lawton that I think he's using in this clip.

Great...I'm going to go downstairs and drag out the original old "Gonz" trio album on vinyl...haven't listened to that one for ages!

Jerry got both the slant 10* and EB 10* from me...an honestly, his sound in person on those---is so ridiculously great. The slant is a little warmer. The baffle on the EB was huge!
I prefer him on rubber, but i know lots of guys that like him more on metal. Either way---he's still the best!

Man, that was good!

Great!

Anyone else feel that those facial close-ups put the lie to his concept of the "no embouchure" embouchure? You can see all kinds of muscular action in his face - chin, cheeks, mouth corners... Maybe he feels that he's just putting the horn in his mouth and blowing, but it sure doesn't look like it to me.

I'm not sure I could even make a sound with a 10* and a medium Rico.
