Admired for decades for his broad sound, conversational solos, and charismatic stage presence, Dexter Gordon made a big impact in the jazz world. In 1976, his return to the U.S. after many years in Europe drew great attention and helped revitalize interest in straight-ahead jazz. Many honors and awards followed his homecoming, and a decade later Gordon was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars, for his performance in Bertrand Tavernier’s film ‘Round Midnight.’
JACK WILKINS, a 30-year veteran of USF’s faculty, has led the USF Jazz Ensembles to great prestige and many international tours. He was appointed five yeas ago as a Fulbright Scholar to the University of Calgary, and has recorded six albums as a leader, in addition to being a featured soloist in Chuck Owen’s Jazz Surge Orchestra since it’s inception more than 25 years ago. Jack is a lifelong devotee of Dexter Gordon’s music, and he and the band are looking forward to celebrating that long and storied career – including such Dexter classics as ‘Cheesecake’ and ‘Fried Bananas’ – with the Mainstage Theatre audience.
