ABC Wednesday's letter du jour is D at the beginning of our fifth year! I'm always a little giddy when D comes around because it reminds me of Dexter Gordon, the alto sax player in the Dave Brubeck Quartet for 17 years in the middle of the last century. He is probably best remembered for his solo in Take Five and Blue Rondo a la Turk. You can watch on these you-tube videos.
Caution: you won't be able to sit still for long.

Hello.
First time hearing Brubeck.
The sax is such a sultry-sounding instrument.
Thanks for sharing.
