Dexter Gordon filmed 3 concerts in 1964 while living in Europe … Holland, Switzerland and Belgium. Body and Soul is from the Belgium session, and particularly highlights his classic style and silky tone.
“Long tall Dexter” was an early influence on both John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, as well as many other greats. As above, accompanying Dex on Lady Bird are George Gruntz on piano, Guy Pedersen on bass, and Daniel Humair playing drums.
