An exact reproduction of Gordon's original gold plated mouthpiece.
Dexter Gordon is considered to be the first musician to translate the language of Bebop to the tenor saxophone. His studio and live performance career were both extensive and multifaceted, spanning over 50 years in recorded jazz history. During his career, Gordon played and/or recorded in bands with such contemporaries as Chico Hamilton, Buddy Collette, Lionel Hampton's band, Illinois Jacquet, Marshall Royal, Nat Cole, Harry Edison, the Louis Armstrong and Fletcher Henderson bands and with Charlie Parker.
Many would characterize Gordon's sound as being 'large' and spacious and his tendency to play behind the beat is discernible. Gordons style included his clear, strong, metallic tones, tendencies to bend up to high notes, and his ability to single-tongue and still swing. One of Gordon's idiosyncrasies was to recite the lyrics of each ballad before playing it.
Available tip openings for the Dexter Gordon Legends Series include: Dexters original 6 (.098"), 7 (.105") and 8 (.110").
