Scene Ecology: His long European period, especially Copenhagen, made him part of a jazz exile network where Black American players found steadier work and deeper respect. Media Narrative: By the 70s, reissues and budget LPs helped rebuild Gordon’s name for listeners who missed the original bebop years. 6/20/26 LM
