He radiated love onstage. I saw him in the early 80's in a small club in Portland,OR. The voice, the smile, the way he held up his horn after playing, and...the music. Transcendent beauty. If we'd had a son instead of a daughter in 1990, we were going to name him Dexter. You picked a genius and a beautiful soul.

I'm amazed at the musicians who don't know the verse to "More Than You Know." Even Coltrane messed up the melody on Cole Porter's "Everytime We Say Goodbye" (on "My Favorite Things" or "Giant Steps"). Dexter never made these mistakes. He knew the song lyrics (frequently recited them), and consequently did justice by the composer. He was also the music's most powerful improvisor, 1965-85. Every note a carefully aimed dagger. Pedersen gives credit where it's due (Lucky, Byas, Ben, Brew Moore).

I always dug the way he'd take the sax off and lay it in those big hands and hold it out to the crowd like an offering or a tribute to the horn. He seemed like a cool guy in the best sense of the word.

No one has played with the combination of imaginative inventiveness and assured conviction of LT. The '70s was so much fusion, electricity, and disco that paradoxically many of us had a chance to hear the titans lock horns--Dexter blowing with 3 comparable giants because they were neglected and "affordable." Dexter always took the prize, though Stitt was flawless, and Jaws could always turn on the heat. On recordings, the 2 who never ever wear out are Mobley and Harold Land.

@TrueFan1947--"Tanya" is a Donald Byrd composition Dexter does memorably on "One Flight Up." It moved Kurt Elling so much he got up night after night obsessively putting words to Long Tall's solo. The result is on Elling's 1997 album, "The Messenger" (still his best, imo).

I think that is so true what you say about the ballads because playing them so that you touch and relate to those that are listening requires more than technique. It requires a heart for the music, the other players and the listeners. I would like to add to your list of men in bebop as opposed to the boys the names McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter and Julien Adderley.
