Description: On the cover of Dexter Gordon’s 1961 Blue Note classic *Doin’ Allright*, the saxophonist leans into the city’s updraft, his horn case at his side, as midtown Manhattan blurs behind him. Standing at 5th Ave & E 59th St, just off Central Park, you can almost hear the hard-bop optimism of a post-bebop survivor stepping back into the spotlight after years of personal struggles. The rush of taxis, the clipped footsteps on the pavement, and the vertical thrust of the avenue echo the album’s mix of swagger and vulnerability. This corner is one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
