Stan Britt,: Dexter Gordon : A Musical Biography

Dexter Gordon : A Musical Biography


Description

Described by Leonard Feather as "one of the most influential saxophonists of the bop era," Dexter Gordon has been a recognized master for over four decades. This new biography traces his career from his early stints with Lionel Hampton and Louis Armstrong, through his time with the bop big band of Billy Eckstine and his sparring partnership with fellow tenor-player Wardell Gray in Los Angeles, to his self-exile in Denmark, and his triumphant return to New York in 1976, an event that decisively shaped the still strong bebop revival. Stan Britt devotes chapters to Gordon's acclaimed performance in the movie 'Round Midnight, for which he received an Academy Award nomination, along with extended discussions of his recording legacy and an analysis of his unmistakable tenor sound and style. With a notated discography and a keen appreciation of Dexter's warm, ironic personality, this biography adds another dimension to our understanding of one of the coolest,and tallest,figures of jazz.

Written for executive coaches, teachers, and other development professionals, the book explores the seven roles or Voices that coaches assume while working with a client. The Voices are: Master, Partner, Investigator, Reflector, Teacher, Guide and Contractor. Silsbee illuminates the dynamic relationship between these roles, and integrates them in an intelligent roadmap for any coaching conversation. This book offers a helpful resource for internal and external executive coaches as well as leader coaches, consultants, trainers, teachers, and Dexter Gordon : A Musical Biography download ebook facilitators. The cast gears up for the mother of all Golden Week vacations. Hayate sunning in the Mediterranean? Our hero's story truly is a classic tale of rags to...well, substantially less shoddy rags. But what about the students who don't work as manservants to the super-wealthy? Well, they'll just have to win vacation tickets in a game show or hit the jackpot in Vegas. That could happen, right?
