About the songs
These standards react to the changing world of jazz and are directly influenced by the ‘developments’ of 1959 – the release of progressive gems including ‘Time Out’ and ‘The Shape Of Jazz To Come’. They show how musical fundamentals of harmonic rhythm and general structure have been eroded to almost nothing, whereas the musical ambition and rhythmic energy have been elevated to unprecedented heights.
About Dexter Gordon
This musical giant is a direct contemporary of Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, two modern jazz giants. His musical language and way of playing shows a direct evolution from Charlie Parker’s bop language but presages the complexity and modernity of Jazz saxophone To Come.
