@alterdestiny Your Spot on Being a Drummer for 63 Years Professionally 55 of them And Yes we wore Suits most of the time or Sport jackets with a tie or turtleneck pleated chinos and Shoes Shined to a Mirror Finish. You could not Play if you were not dressed appropriately even in Jams we wore Casual but nothing like today. Musicians today do not show respect to the club or club owner or their audience even themselves Such a non- conformists attitude exists now. And it draws in the riff raft of audience the Music suffers because of it. It's Total BS that Freeing up Musicians Dress code with no code promotes free thinking and playing BS its that attitude that lets the Dissent in the door Drugs Alcoholism and a Non-Caring Attitude reflects on the club its audience and band members it all rubs off on the Music
My 7 year old daughter sang this tune with Dex and the band in the Canaries. She had been woodshedding listening to Ella sing it and sang all the licks. We were at rehearsal and she was there and said she wanted to sing a tune. Dex asked her what she wanted to sing and she said "A Night in Tunisia." They played for her as if she were a grown up singer and the band was knocked out. She later recorded when she was 15 with Hampton Hawes.
Dexter just kills me. Friends back in the 60's, I had actually taken him to the airport leaving London for Paris and his European tour. Yes his voice and tenor talent - amazing.
Him, Rollins at the village, Bird on the original recording, just to talk about sax. Original voices, so different, like an on going conversation through time. A mastercraft beyond time!
Opgenomen in juli 1964 in een café in Amersfoort. Het geluid is nog steeds fantastisch, alsof het dit jaar is geregistreerd! En wat een geweldige spelers!
My first thought, the tempo, a very up Night indeed. Dexter almost set it faster than he could play it. And then he conquered it. What a tone! Unending ideas at every turn of the tune, and complete control of the song. You hear the all the reasons Coltrane mentioned Dex in his first Downbeat blindfold test. The only jazz musician to be nominated for an Academy Award for ACTING. What a genius!
I listen to a few tenor sax players regularly, but I always keep coming back to Dexter Gordon, and always will. What I wouldn't give to find clubs like this now. There's still some tasty stuff around, but the greats seem to all be long gone. RIP and thanks Dexter
I grew up in Denmark, 30 miles south of Copenhagen, I was a teenager in the early to mid sixties. My friends and I would take the train or bus in to Copenhagen to go to Montmatre, to see Dexter and also our fellow Dane, Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen, whom I knew of from a boarding school I went to where his father was the head master.
Dexter is so melodic, all that stuff going on, you know right where he is, you could remove the rhythm section and still hear the changes perfectly well. This is craft, this is art. Wonderful-
Iconic footage- great idea of filming ---dex coming in from the dark alleys somewhere in Europe and the girls looking so hard that their eyes where close to falling out ---so much charm and talented playing - the best periode of Dexters life! What a mixture of talent and charms! olav boe norway ps the only minus is unneeded epilouges
Damn, woman! Already hip at 16! I was 12, and still not listening to this stuff. But, by about 17 I was already at the Village Vanguard sitting right up front listening to Kenny Burrell, and from there it has never stopped. In fact, I have been working on playing this tune solo piano. What fun!
I found Dexter after Coltrane BUT Dexter is real everday jazz you can listen & listen to this guy he's so cool just like Ahmad Jamal live .......kids today have to experience this somehow ....like lebarowosky says ,,,"wouldnt it be nice ......
His playing was more laid back California style til he came East and was invigorated by the harder blowing East coast scene.....Long tall, loquacious Dex !
In the mid sixties I used to sit on the steps outside the original RONNIE SCOTT'S CLUB in London (now ChinaTown), listening to many greats. I was 15, had no money and not old enough to enter, I'd ride home late on my bike, head buzzing to Kirk, Getz, and other masters all gone now.
Po prostu GENIUSZ i zaliczany do najlepszych muzyków Jazzowych jak : Webster , Lester ,Chat, Getz i lista jest długa ! Pozostaną w naszej pamięci, miód dla uszu i duszy 😅❤ 🎷
Smooth scaly--wailys.....DEXTER GORDEN HAD TO LEAVE THE STATES IN ORDER TO GET WORK and all the places he went to get my thanks for keeping this kind of music alive those people are true lovers of jazz!! NO . WONDER ONE OF THE REASONS LARS ULDRECH OF METTALICA SOUNDS SO GOOD HE IS BLESSED WITH DEXTER GORDON AS HIS GODFATHER......LOL
I can tell a sad anecdote about Charlie Parker. In 1954, by the end of his life, he went into a jazz club in NYC, without tie and suit, but just with a turtleneck sweater, talking with a musician, and regreting to don't have money to offer him a drink. The boss of the club, seeing him (I don't know if he recognized him) fired him immediately. The musician (who reported this story ans is still alive) accompanied him outside, and got him a drink in a bar of the area.
@@gillesd91 Yeah. Sad stuff. Jazz musicians knock on G-d's door asking for holy inspiration, get only so much and when that runs out look to other sources -- just to soothe their souls and yours. Holy Angels they are.
In my opinion the best albums were undoubtedly made around 1961 being Go!, A swinging affair”, “ Doin alright” and Dexter Callin”. Anyone remember the cameo performance he did in “Awakenings” towards the end of his life.
Lived in the Toronto area in 1975 . Saw dexter perform in the old spaghetti house and they’re were only 10 people in the club he played as well as in this video , never forgot that evening A few weeks later Stan Getz played in the same club . Unforgettable still have the flyers . Another club was called El Macumbo . Just great memories visiting the Toronto jazz scene I bet all those places are gone.
Dexter was like the definition of Cool-I could listen to him playing (and talking) all day and all night. I can see why Miles was in awe of this guy when he was starting out. A terrific upload-thank you.
My favourite saxophone player with his killer band. Extraordinary drummer as well, first time in my life I see a right handed drummer playing kick drum with left foot
Thanks Julio!! You made my day when I stumbled upon the your awesome Dexter video uploads. LTD was definitely in his prime when these were filmed. I'm going to have to spend some serious time playing along with these videos for sure. Muchos gracias!

Wouldn't it be great to just walk down a street, turn into a doorway, walk into a club, sit down, and listen to something like this?
We live in impoverished times in many ways - in a land of plenty!
The things you say.
new york city, baby.

That's incredible I'm an adult vocalist and alot of can be very challenging when you first approach it
BOT! There are no words to this song. BOT. AI not they call it. Same difference. Bot AI, it's all false response and post.
@@imbees2you can still sing a song even if there aren’t lyrics
@@imbees2there are lyrics to this song you idiot.
@@imbees2 Ella Fitzgerald sang Night In Tunisia with lyrics in 1961. It's on youtube.
Dexter just kills me. Friends back in the 60's, I had actually taken him to the airport leaving London for Paris and his European tour. Yes his voice and tenor talent - amazing.
Patricia Carson wow .... :- )
Him, Rollins at the village, Bird on the original recording, just to talk about sax. Original voices, so different, like an on going conversation through time. A mastercraft beyond time!
Hell I'd kill just to have Dexter's voice let alone his ability on the sax
That is a great comment!
The man was unique. Nobody like him before or since. What a musician and fantastic human being. God how I wish I had gotten to see him play.
Jake Gittes honestly yes
My favorite music video ever.
Your comment made my night
Loves how he comes into the club, hands his coat and hat to the bartender. Classic Dexter. Just cool. And he's blowing better than ever. Great upload
1964 agreat time Europe welcomed American jazz artist with respect
Dexter is so cool, I had to put on a coat while watching this!!!
I put on a hat
That looks like the greatest bar in the world.
I dunno...I kinda miss all the flat screen TV's...
Ha!
The Blue Note in Paris on the right bank of the Seine was also way cool.
Proof that jazz musicians are the coolest cats on the planet.

Hard to believe this was 50 years ago today, and 40 years ago I was listening to him playing double sets at Montematre Jazz Haus in Copenhagen
I grew up in Denmark, 30 miles south of Copenhagen, I was a teenager in the early to mid sixties. My friends and I would take the train or bus in to Copenhagen to go to Montmatre, to see Dexter and also our fellow Dane, Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen, whom I knew of from a boarding school I went to where his father was the head master.
Dexter is so melodic, all that stuff going on, you know right where he is, you could remove the rhythm section and still hear the changes perfectly well. This is craft, this is art. Wonderful-
Jazz people would never say, Dexter is so melodic. Not a description for his music. BOT. BOT!!

What a mixture of talent and charms! olav boe norway ps the only minus is unneeded epilouges
This is absolutely my favorite version of Night in Tunisia
Yep😎
I was 16 in 1964 and I loved this stuff.
Damn, woman! Already hip at 16! I was 12, and still not listening to this stuff. But, by about 17 I was already at the Village Vanguard sitting right up front listening to Kenny Burrell, and from there it has never stopped. In fact, I have been working on playing this tune solo piano. What fun!
Zed, sorry, I am NOT Carolyn Ketcham. LOL! That's my wife........I forgot that I was on her page! Peter, at jazztemple2@aol.com here. Peace out
Zedwoman...YOU ARE Fabulous!!!
me too!
That's good..... I don't think it's about age.. when it hits you it hits you
You get cannot get enough of this.Dextor Gordon was a jazz master.
without a doubt the coolest cat ever to pick up a saxophone - Dexter Gordon!
Dexter and Sonny are my favorites on the tenor
Dexter was so cool & charismatic.
I found Dexter after Coltrane BUT Dexter is real everday jazz you can listen & listen to this guy he's so cool just like Ahmad Jamal live .......kids today have to experience this somehow ....like lebarowosky says ,,,"wouldnt it be nice ......
You're right! Dex plays as one real, everyday, authentic. There is magic and humanity in his craft.
Dex was so damn cool in so many ways!
And wasn't he a gorgeous man! Brilliant.
Zedwoman mesmerizing!
this cat should have made a fortune not only in music but in voiceovers..he should have had his own radio show at that voice
of all Dexter's live performance's, i think this is my favourite. So genious on the Sax.... it almost hurts me sometimes!
let feel u bro night in Tunisia is a song to die for....especially coming from dex the empathy of cool
Hurt? Beauty often does. M
Such an incredible solo - Dex's ideas are so special.
The silent giant... such defined tone & control.
Just Fantastic!
Only Dexter Gordon has this special sound.
Benjamin Cramer
Dexter even wipes his sweat away in the coolest possible manner.
!
Love the spoken intro--way to set the scene, Dexter!
Dizzy Fritz
You have to see his spoken intro to What's New.
@@shawnthaxter4408 He says some of the lyrics of the song in the intro. So dope!!
Including the baddest walk-on ever.
Had the pleasure of meeting him in los angeles in the late 70's. Along with Miles one of the greatest artists of the 20th century!!
Tonight I am having dinner with Guy Pedersoen's daughter and grandson, Thank you for posting, I am totally blown away. this is soooo coool!
cool.that cat was a helluva bassist.....
The definition of "Cool"....no disrespect to Miles.
Had that thought today! Dexter is the only one who might "outcool" Miles...
@alterdestiny Miles Davis
Miles credits dexter as his inspiration for swag
His playing was more laid back California style til he came East and was invigorated by the harder blowing East coast scene.....Long tall, loquacious Dex !
...But Dex got his game from hangin' with Billy Eckstine...
Had the.great joy of singing with Dex on many occasions. He gave me great insight into vocal jazz. And he knew all the lyrics!!!
He would often say the lyrics of a standard before playing it.
Thats hysterical reply. Dexter knew all the lyrics.Dexter ain't playin no lyrics.
Bots are so irritating

Killer band, too!
If i could go back in time to any point in history i think i would choose here.
Fred Purse honestly yes
I'd pick a half hour earlier so I could be at the front of the line to get into the club

And now we go the land of the Sun of the Sand TUNISIA !! Nostalgia!!!
What’s wrong with Tunisia ? I’ve been there last year and it’s definitely nothing like the media is trying to show us.
I was replying to another comment and apparently it has been deleted ;)
sensational band, Dexter, the man!

I saw Dex live in concert one time in the 1980s. He had the most commanding presence of any performer I've ever seen.
Wow ! This song gives me chills every time I listen .
These guys wore suits and ties. Even the audience looks classy. Oh where did the music go??
Guys wore suits and ties to baseball games in the US - check out the old pictures. And now you see baseball caps worn in restaurants.
Rap and tatoo, a kind of prison style.
US gangs has spread dung over mankind.

@@pamelamiller1768 Sadly beautifully expressed . . .
Dexter Gordon was and is the coolest.
He is just too cool!
Dexter looked so cool ,immaculately dressed ,walking in from the street like that.
A top master! He was greta to hear live! You knew it was him unlike so many today!
He has a charming voice. Dexter.
Бесподобно!!! Можно бесконечно смотреть и слушать!!!
from 4:59 to 5.16 four clear phrases, he is clearly speaking... genius.
He's like a Walking Romantic movie set to music. Elegant, tall and beautiful. 💕
best of Dexter Gordon. I'm scared of him now!! Lord have mercy!
He came to our little college town many years ago. He was amazing.
Dexter Gordon is my hero!
In my opinion the best albums were undoubtedly made around 1961 being Go!, A swinging affair”, “ Doin alright” and Dexter Callin”. Anyone remember the cameo performance he did in “Awakenings” towards the end of his life.
Jazz - best 5 years - my choice would be 58 - 62. Some really great stuff with lots of variety from the old guys as well as the up-and-comers.
GREAT...!!! DEXTER GORDON...
Lived in the Toronto area in 1975 . Saw dexter perform in the old spaghetti house and they’re were only 10 people in the club
he played as well as in this video , never forgot that evening
A few weeks later Stan Getz played in the same club . Unforgettable still have the flyers .
Another club was called El Macumbo . Just great memories visiting the Toronto jazz scene
I bet all those places are gone.
So beautiful. Just watched a modern rendition before this, it's so wonderful how jazz evolves but still stays the same.
Ladies can't take their eyes off Dexter. He sure had a lot of charisma.
Dexter was like the definition of Cool-I could listen to him playing (and talking) all day and all night. I can see why Miles was in awe of this guy when he was starting out. A terrific upload-thank you.
Guy Pedersen c'est mon tonton... Disparu depuis 2005; un grand plaisir de voir cette Jam Session.
Voilà !!!
that bridge solo at about 3:10 is just a killer! not an accident; just as his studio version.
Sensacional a elegância e o sopro de Dexter Gordon!
I can imagine interviews with his voice
So Great-So Thankful~
la classe!
Stunning 😮 loved the ending also
The coolest! Thanks for posting.

I love this!!!!
saxophone colossus
Wonderful sound and feeling, Bravooo!!!
Thank you.
My favourite saxophone player with his killer band. Extraordinary drummer as well, first time in my life I see a right handed drummer playing kick drum with left foot
Humair was left handed I think-it's a hybrid kit.....
@@quattrosaxoni3625 well, now I see the whole drum kit is for left handeds but he's playing as right handed with hands a left handed with feet.
Thanks Julio!! You made my day when I stumbled upon the your awesome Dexter video uploads. LTD was definitely in his prime when these were filmed. I'm going to have to spend some serious time playing along with these videos for sure. Muchos gracias!
