I listed to KJAZZ here in LA. The name Dexter Gordon pops up again and again; usually after something snappy hits the airwaves. I've never purchased any of Gordon's music. I've been happy to catch it on KJAZZ. What a fool I've been.
I picked up Our Man in Paris at Amoeba on Sunset in Hollywood a few days ago. It's been pumping from my ipod ever since. He was amazing. It just goes to show that you can never really stop learning. There is enlightenment in every dusty old record bin.
Listen to Willow Weep For Me. It will bring tears.
