Blue Note Hour “Dexter Gordon Tribute”
Fri 2/12 6:00 pm ET
Bruce Lundvall was a label president at Columbia, Elektra and Blue Note Records and at every stop he signed his favorite sax player and long time friend, Dexter Gordon. Gordon, the only jazz musician ever nominated for an Oscar in an acting category, was also a Blue Note artist in the '50s and '60s long before Lundvall arrived at the company, all of which leads to some great music and great conversation about one of jazz’ all-time leading men, Dexter Gordon.  (1 hr)
