The Jumpin' Blues [Music] MusicBrainz Douban
Dexter Gordon genre: Jazz
release date 1996-06-11 publisher: Ojc
因身型魁梧而有“大高个儿”封号的次中音萨克斯风手德克斯特‧戈登，崛起于歌手比利‧艾克斯坦乐团，并曾与中音萨克斯风手查理‧帕克及小号手迪吉‧葛拉斯比等合作，更于四零年代中期率先将咆勃乐语汇运用在次中音萨克斯风演奏上。戈登的演奏特色以洪亮的声响、长篇的即兴、多变的和声及慧黠的拼贴著称，更因所传递的乐音里同时蕴含了摇摆乐之轻松韵律及咆勃乐之堆栈飙速等特色，因此成为爵士乐坛上承继前人精神并启发后人逸志之重要乐手。著名摄影师赫曼‧李奥纳德曾于1948年为戈登在纽约皇巢俱乐部拍下氤氲叆叇的经典照片，在这张「跃动蓝调」专辑里，由戈登与钢琴手温顿‧凯利所领军的节奏组连手所呈现的蓝调氛围，正如同那张照片之烟霏雾集景象，在“For Sentimental Reasons”里，娓娓器乐音中柔情满溢，令人沈醉；在“Star Eyes”里，精彩绵密的即兴成就了最具张力的名演！

release date 1991-07-01 publisher: Prestige
Lindsay Planer of Allmusic states, "Dexter Gordon (tenor sax) returned to the United States in the spring of 1969 to create his first studio recordings in nearly a decade... Gordon selflessly provides copious space to his bandmates, a quality that certainly makes selections such as these a pleasure to revisit".

for three of his originals, two obscurities, and a standard that ended up being the date's most memorable performance: "I'm a Fool to Want You." The CD reissue is a reproduction of the original LP which was not issued until the mid-'70s. It is excellent music if not quite essential.

火力全开 [Music] Douban
Dexter Gordon genre: Jazz
release date 1994-07-30 publisher: Ojc
纵横爵士乐坛超过半个世纪之久的次中音萨克斯风手德克斯特‧戈登，因身型高大魁梧而有“大高个儿”的封号，其音乐里融合了摇摆乐之舒缓妙韵及咆勃乐之昂扬竞速等特性，并以洪亮的声响、流畅的即兴、复杂的和声及巧妙的引用而著称，不仅承袭了前辈的音乐风范，更启迪了后学的演奏概念。崛起于四零年代初期的戈登，基于不同原因而三进三出美国爵士乐坛成为其著名的传奇故事，录音于1969年4月的「火力全开」专辑即是利用其从丹麦哥本哈根返美之际所录制的作品，由戈登与另一位次中音萨克斯风手詹姆士‧慕迪共组前线阵容，并由钢琴手贝瑞‧哈利斯领军节奏组协力演出。第一轨“Lady Bird”里，两位前线大将于交替挥洒时展现源源不绝的即兴佳句，并于应对唱和时铺陈浑然天成的动人旋律；第二轨“Meditation”里，戈登以伸滑自若的运指技巧为此Bossa Nova名曲作了最完美的诠释！

One Flight Up [Music] Douban
Dexter Gordon genre: Jazz
release date 1965-01-01 publisher: Blue Note Records
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 3½ stars stating "One Flight Up stands as a testament to Dexter Gordon's viability as a bandleader and teammate, while his individualism is somewhat sublimated. It's a good listen to digest all the way through, especially if you are as patient as the performers, who have a lot to say".

50年代のハード・バップ・テナーとして雄大さをみせた代表的な1枚。もともと痛快なブローに定評があるが、ここでは一段とスケール・アップした演奏を披露。モダンな感覚の歌心も聴かせる。
