Why have Pumpkin Pie when you can have Cheesecake?
T-minus two days to turkey.
The classic American dessert for Thanksgiving is, of course, pumpkin pie.
But let me suggest something different this year – something a little smoother, richer, spicier. So once you’ve downed your turkey, and your host asks if you’d like a slice of pumpkin pie, you should reply, “No thanks – Cheesecake for me.”
Pull up your favorite chair, pour yourself a cup of hot coffee, and grab a slice of New York Cheescake. Then listen to one of the best saxophonists of all time:
This track comes from Gordon’s 1962 album, Go. The rest of the album is great, too; if you want more, check it out here.
Dexter Gordon is one of the artists I never got around to listening to. Better late than never. Groovy cut. I like his style. Inspired solo. Ditto pianist Sonny Clark (I looked up the album on Wikipedia.) Good work from Butch Warren bass, Billy Higgins drums.
