Maison de la Radio, Paris, France. Dexter Gordon is regarded one of bebop's first tenor saxophonists. He played and recorded with prominent musicians in this genre, including Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Gordon's bebop was a major influence on later generations of saxophonists after him, such as John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, who in turn also influenced Gordonâs playing when he started exploring hard bop in the 1960s. Moving to Europe in the mid 1960s, he performed with visiting American players and local jazz artists, such as Georges Arvanitas (piano), Alby Cullaz (double bass), and Daniel Humair (drums), as seen in this concert. Gordon performed his own âFried Bananasâ, Henry Mancini's âDays of Wine and Rosesâ, and John Coltraneâs âSome Other Bluesâ at Maison de la Radio in Paris, on July 24, 1973.
