Dexter Gordon is all those things, but more than a kaleidoscope of caricatures. Those who trace their lineages through ...

Cedar Walton One Flight Down
by Thomas Conrad
They are thinning out: the ranks of pianists who can trace their lineage directly back to primary sources like J.J. Johnson, the early Jazz Messengers of Art Blakey, and the Jazztet of Art Farmer and Benny Golson.
