Dexter Gordon (February 27, 1923 – April 25, 1990) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He was among the earliest tenor players to adapt the bebop musical language of people such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell to the instrument. His studio and live performance career spanned over 40 years.
Gordon's height was 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm), so he was also known as "Long Tall Dexter" and "Sophisticated Giant". He played a Conn 10M Lady Face until 1964.

Let Me Go Now
I'm Matteo, French/Brazilian singer and guitar player based in Paris. I've been workin as a musician for more than a decade now, but this is my first release in my own name ! :)
Recorded and miwed at home, i played all the instruments you can hear, singing too.
Lyrically, it draws from a deeply personal conversation with my godfather about his peaceful acceptance of the end of life, using nature imagery and new horizons to explore acceptance and inner peace.
I hope you like it ! :Dmore
