Sophisticated Giant: The Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon - a screening and book signing

Main Library, Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

Join Maxine Gordon for a book signing and a screening of Round Midnight, a 1986 movie that earned Dexter Gordon an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role. This event is sponsored by the Cambridge Jazz Festival and the Cambridge Public Library.
