Description
Reissue of Dexter Gordons 1955 release Daddy Plays the Horn featuring the gems Confirmation, Autumn In New York and You Can Depend On Me. The tenor saxophonist wasnt quite THE Dexter Gordon when he made Daddy Plays the Horn, but his unique, obtuse way of playing the saxophone and hitting his rhythm sections playing at weird, swinging angles was already fully formed here. Recorded in between periods of tumult and distress he was in and out of jail with a bear of a heroin addiction Gordon is one of the finest men to ever put a reed in his mouth, and this album particularly Autumn in New York belongs in every discerning jazz lovers collection.
Musicians:
Dexter Gordon, tenor saxophone
