Dexter Gordon (February 27, 1923 – April 25, 1990) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He was one of the first players of the instrument in the bebop idiom of musicians such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell. Gordon's height was 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm), so he was also known as "Long Tall Dexter" and "Sophisticated Giant". His studio and performance career spanned over 40 years.

Sophisticated Giant: The Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon, a new book by Maxine Gordon, is a portrait of the singular tenor saxophonist, and of his times. The legendary bebop sax player had begun writing notes for an autobiography in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where the couple frequently spent time off the road, and away from New York winters, in a house called Villa Verde.
Dexter Keith Gordon was born on February 27, 1923 in Los Angeles, California. His father, Dr. Frank Gordon, was one of the first African American doctors in Los Angeles who arrived in 1918 after graduating from Howard Medical School in Washington, . Among his patients were Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton. EAC extraction logfile from 4. July 2005, 19:02 for CD Dexter Gordon, Sophisticated Giant.

Dexter Gordon was one of the top ballad players of the '60s. Having already made his name in the bebop era and as an expatriate in Europe, Gordon returned to the States to record a series of fine Blue Note discs during the first half of the decade. The other thing that is nice is that many of these are longer songs in the 6-8 minute category, with the final song on the album being 16:59 minutes, which allows you to really hear Dexter cut loose and play.
