Dexter Gordon
Tenor Sax Solo on
Love For Sale

About

Dexter Gordon's tenor sax solo is the opening of 3 solos on this recording, followed by Sonny Clark on piano. Spanning two choruses of the 64-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 215 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 2:27. Pianist Sonny Clark matches Gordon's intensity with two choruses of his own, his bluesy, hard-hitting approach providing a perfect counterpoint to the leader's more spacious conception. Dexter Gordon was 38 to 39 years old at the time of this 1962 recording.
