Dexter @ 95
Saxophonist Dexter Gordon (1923-1990) epitomized Fifties bebop cool, influencing both John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Curated by his widow Maxine, Gordon’s traveling birthday party keeps his music alive. Austin’s new jazz joint hosts veteran Lake Charles saxist Doug Lawrence, University of Utah jazz administrator/trumpeter Kris Johnson, Philly piano great Eric Reed, bassist John Webber and legendary drummer Louis Hayes, who played on Gordon’s Grammy-winning 1976 LP Homecoming. – Michael Toland
