Since his triumphant return to this country in 1977 (after living for most o f two decades in Europe), and his subsequent contract with Columbia Records, “ Long-Tall-Dexter” has been riding the crest o f a wave o f recognition usually reserved only for pop artists. The year 1981 has been the pinnacle o f that rise, with Dexter winning entrance into Downbeat Magazine's coveted Hall-Of-Fame, as well as capturing Jazz Musician o f the Year and Top Tenor Saxophonist in the publications yearly Readers Poll. Dexter Gordon has been a major force in contemporary jazz since his earlv davs with the seminal Billy Fckstine Orchestra o f the early 1940s Dur ing the ’40s he synthesized the two prevailing tenor sax influences—those o f Under these conditions ONLY *N o appointment ♦First available operator only (present this coupon with visit) P ersonalized & Custom J e w e lry Fine Up and C o m in g A ttra c tio n s !!

Tondalayera Designer Salon welcomes Great Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins—with the innovations o f Charlie Parker, and in the process became the idol o f a host o f other tenor players. The early work o f such major players as John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Jimmy Heath, Bill Barron, and Jackie McLean all show a dis tinctive Gordonian stamp. Gary Giddins, writing in the Village Voice, described Dexter this way: "G ordon’s attractiveness is built on his music but is not confined to it. He is one o f the few charismatic men in jazz. His very image on a bandstand is re assuring and perfectly complements the deep sanguinity o f his sound, the effusiveness o f his ideas, and the galvanizing effect o f his swing.” Tickets fo r this very special evening are priced at $7.00 advance, and $8.00 day-of-show, and can be purchased at The Last Hurrah, Stevens and Son, Longhair Music, Django Records, Birds Suite, and Everybody’ s (East- side and Canyon).
