IN THE 1940'S, THE MAN THEY CALLED "LONG TALL" BROKE NEW GROUND ON THE TENOR SAXOPHONE. HE WAS FIRST TO ADAPT THE EXTENDED HARMONIES OF BEBOP FOR HIS INSTRUMENT. HIS WIDE TONE AND SEARCHING SOLOS COMBINED BOP'S FORWARD THINKING WITH THE LUSH ELEGANCE OF THE BIG BAND ERA

DEXTER GORDON HELPED DEFINE THE WAY THE SAXOPHONE IS PLAYED. HE INFLUENCED CONTEMPORARIES LIKE GENE AMMONS, AND STAN GETZ, AND UP-AND-COMERS LIKE SONNY ROLLINS AND JOHN COLTRANE.
