Back in 2020 I transcribed Sonny Stitt’s solo on “On The Sunny Side Of The Street” which is one of two iconic bebop tenor solos that really excited me as a young player. Second only to Sonny in my mind was Dexter Gordon’s entire performance on “Three O’Clock In The Morning” off his 1962 album Go which I finally got around to transcribing this August as I sought out a distraction from studying for my upcoming PhD qualifying exam. I’m thrilled to have this solo transcribed and look forward to incorporating some more of Dexter into my own playing.
