A powerful yet sweet monologue played on the tenor saxophone.
A superb performance by Dexter Gordon, featuring a deep tone and a relaxed, swinging feel that is very pleasing to the ear.
Kenny Drew's refined piano playing perfectly complements his powerful phrasing. As the title "Daddy Plays The Horn" suggests, his warm performance, which seems to project his own musical father figure, deeply resonates with the listener.
