Dexter & Marty

Cinematic maestro Martin Scorsese provides a highly entertaining cameo late in Bertrand Tavernier's 1986 ROUND MIDNIGHT. You can access my review under December 2009 entries (attempts to insert a link to this have proven unsuccessful).

ROUND MIDNIGHT is a fictionalized bio, a distillation of those great jazzmen of the 40s and 50s like Bud Powell and Lester Young into the character of Dale Turner, played by real-life saxophonist/jazz great Dexter Gordon. Marty plays his handler/agent.
