Thank you to all the Dexter fans who wished him a Happy Birthday on what would have been his 81st. We celebrated here in New York with a party at The Iridium with Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath, Ronnie Mathews, Rufus Reid, and Winard Harper. George Cables (Dexter's pianist) sat in, we had birthday cake, and a great time. Of course, if Dexter could have been there, it would have really been a great night. They played The Chase, Round Midnight, some mean BeBop, and sounded great.
Keep listening to Dexter and keep thinking about him.
Thanks so much.
With love,
Maxine Gordon
