Shout Factory brings back to light one of only three sessions recorded in the ’50s by bop tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon, Daddy Plays the Horn, originally issued on the Bethlehem label. The ’50s were a difficult time for Gordon, as he spent the majority of the decade hooked on narcotics and doing jail time because of it. He didn’t make a comeback until 1960, when he began recording for Blue Note. Daddy Plays the Horn was recorded five years previously in September 1955, with Gordon rounding out his quartet with pianist Kenny Drew, drummer Larance Marable, and bassist Leroy Vinnegar. The bandmembers mesh well on the uptempo tunes “You Can Depend on Me,” Charlie Parker’s bop classic “Confirmation,” and two Gordon originals, “Number Four” and “Daddy Plays the Horn,” but it’s the heartfelt ballads “Darn That Dream” and “Autumn in New York” that really make this album noteworthy. Although Daddy Plays the Horn is not in the same league as his comeback releases, Gordon’s tenor playing on these sessions appears effortless, even though the man was in dire straits.
