Considered one of the very fi rst bebop tenor

saxophonists, Dexter Gordon (1923-1990) began

playing clarinet at the tender age of seven. By the time

he was fi fteen he had already played in bands with

Chico Hamilton and Buddy Collette! He formed part of

the Lionel Hampton and Louis Armstrong orchestras

in the early forties, and joined the Billy Eckstine band

and recorded with Charlie Parker in 1945. Gordon

possessed a very distinctive and profound sound. Blows

Hot and Cool is Gordon's only existing recording with

pianist Carl Perkins.
