Tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon was born on February 27, 1923 in Los Angeles, California.
Gordon began playing clarinet when he was 13, switching to alto at 15 and tenor at 17.
He gained early experience playing with the Harlem Collegians, and the big bands of Lionel Hampton (1940-43), Fletcher Henderson and Louis Armstrong, being featured on a quintet date in 1943 with Nat King Cole.
A member of the Billy Eckstine big band in 1944 (featured trading off with Gene Ammons on “Blowin’ the Blues Away”), Gordon is considered the first tenor saxophonist to play bebop, recording “Blue ‘n Boogie” with Dizzy Gillespie in 1945.
Gordon, who made some important record dates for Savoy during the classic bebop era, spent most of the second half of the 1940s in Los Angeles where he was the star of many jam sessions, often opposite fellow tenors Wardell Gray (their recording of “The Chase” was popular) and Lucky Thompson.
Drug problems resulted in the 1950s being mostly a lost period for Gordon but he made the first of his three comebacks in 1960 when he signed with Blue Note and recorded a series of rewarding albums.
He spent the 1962-76 period living and working in Europe, playing in prime form and modernizing his style a bit (being influenced by John Coltrane who he had originally influenced) although his long absence resulted in him being almost forgotten in the U.S.
That changed when he made his second comeback in 1976, returning to the United States, playing in exciting form before large crowds and helping to fuel the comeback of acoustic jazz.
Gordon’s health declined in the early 1980s but then he made his third and final comeback, starring in the film Round Midnight and receiving an Academy Award nomination for best actor.
Dexter Gordon is featured on “Loose Walk” with a European rhythm section performing in Holland in 1964

Pianist Joseph “Joey” Calderazzo was born on February 27, 1965, in New Rochelle, New York.
Calderazzo began studying classical piano when he was eight but soon turned towards jazz, studying with Richie Beirach and attending Berklee and the Manhattan School Of Music.
Among his early professional jobs were playing with Dave Liebman and Frank Foster.
He was a member of Michael Brecker’s group starting in 1987, beginning his own solo career in 1990.
When Kenny Kirkland passed away in 1998, Calderazzo took his place in the Branford Marsalis Quartet, a position he has had for over 20 years.
Joey Calderazzo, who has led over a dozen of his own albums, has long had his own swinging style in the modern mainstream of jazz.
Here is the pianist back in 1992 performing “Mikell’s” with his all-star trio at Blue Note’s Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival.

The Road Remembered Us
"February 11, 2026.
Today, we do not celebrate distance or endurance.
We honor what was practiced along the way.
For 109 days and more than 2,000 miles, this walk carried one simple intention:
to cultivate peace through compassion, loving-kindness, and mindful presence.
We learned that peace does not begin in institutions or speeches.
It begins in how we listen, how we walk, and how we care for one another—especially in difficult moments.
To every community, resident, and officer who offered protection, kindness, or a simple smile:
you walked with us, even when your feet did not touch the road.
As this journey concludes, the practice does not.
May we continue the Walk For Peace wherever we stand—
in our homes, our communities, and in our hearts.
Thank you for walking with us.
Dr. Long Si Dong
