THE PANTHER! is an energized and energizing set from one of jazz's iconic saxophone players. With help from a rhythm section that includes bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Alan Dawson, and pianist Tommy Flanagan, Dexter Gordon works up a full head of steam on this classic date. Gordon was always less influenced by the avant garde than his contemporaries John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, but his straightforward approach never detracts from his spectacular skill as an improviser.
Gordon contributes three strong originals here, but surprises by turning in a version of "Body and Soul" that actually hangs in there with Coleman Hawkins's definitive recording. Gordon makes it work thanks to his impressive control, robust tone, and inventive play within the melody. The rest of the date matches up to this highlight, making THE PANTHER! a fine choice for jazz die-hards and initiates alike.
Recorded on July 7, 1970. Includes original release liner notes by Ira Gitler.
Personnel: Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Larry Ridley (bass); Alan Dawson (drums).

Panther! album
 $8.75  
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1993, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Though tenor sax legend Gordon was living in Europe in the '60s (where jazz players were treated as artists rather than "entertainers," and where racism was less an issue), he would come back home to the USA to play and record. That's where TOWER comes in, where a producer with brains paired Gordon with the equally legendary tenor saxophonist James Moody on the album's easy-going yet spirited opener "Montmartre." No dueling saxes--just a ...

| | Dexter Gordon Doin' Allright CD (1961) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Panther! album
$8.35
Forget the stylized in-session cover art closeup of the "jazz man at work:" eyes clenched shut, lips pursed around a mouthpiece, dim lighting. On the cover of his Blue Note debut Gordon appears perched in a Central Park carriage in a sharp-looking trench coat, one hand on his horn case, the other waving a cigarette, a big grin on his face. Doin' allright, indeed. And compared to some of his labelmates, Gordon was perhaps something of an already-arrived success, having been on the scene for over twenty years by the time of this 1961 recording.
The confidence one would expect therefore, and ...

Panther! songs
$6.69
September 11, 1994COWEN KNOCKS ON DOOR OF SUCCESS:Even with loads of talent, and piles of innovative ideas, it takes downright dogged determination to become an insider in the music industry. No one knows better than Doug Cowen, South Bend's folk blues rocker who at age 33 continues his one-man musical onslaught against the brick walls of the industry with his latest CD, "Edge of Reality." Cowen's unique style is hard to pinpoint, and perhaps, unfortunately, that's why record labels have a hard time letting him in. His new six-song effort produced independently at The Music Room, a high-tech recording studio in Auburn,Mississippi-shows Cowen is a master craftsman with diverse influences ranging from Elvis to John Cougar Mellencamp. 'Edge of Reality" asserts its style right off the bat with the flamboyant "This Appetite." After a blurry rhythm guitar intro and a swaggering signal of Cowen clearing his throat, the song kicks in with Jason Palmer's dynamic-funky drum beat, merging Weylon Michael's spacy electric guitar riffs along with Cowen's smooth rangy voice that all come together to mold a precious eclectic sound that sizzles with pulsating energy throughout, reminiscent of the classic "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" byThe Alan Parsons Project. The title track is equally compelling, highlighting Cowen's vocals, backed by a bubbling bass, a touch of piano by The Music Room's own Jim Whitehead and Michael Graham, backup vocals by Kim Harris, and a scintillating guitar solo sandwiched in-between. It's reflective lyrics about a de ja vu are the most impressive of the six selections. The fourth cut, "Watching You," is a warmly sedated acoustical lust song with a light country appeal. With its gentle Spanish ...
