Release Notes:
Norwood "Pony" Poindexter (February 8, 1926, New Orleans, Louisiana û April 14,
1988, Oakland, California) was an American jazz saxophonist.
Poindexter began on clarinet and switched to playing alto and tenor sax. In 1940
he studied under Sidney Desvigne, and following this attended Candell
Conservatory in Oakland. From 1947 to 1950 he played with Billy Eckstine. In
1950 he played in a quartet with Vernon Alley. From 1951 to 1952, he was with
Lionel Hampton and in 1952 he played with Stan Kenton. Neal Hefti wrote the tune
"Little Pony", named after Poindexter, for the Count Basie Orchestra. Through
the end of the 1950s Poindexter played extensively both as a leader and as a
sideman, recording with Charlie Parker, Nat King Cole, T-Bone Walker, and Jimmy
Witherspoon.
He recorded with Eric Dolphy and Dexter Gordon on a session for Epic Records
around 1962. From 1961 to 1964, he accompanied Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. In
1963 he moved to Paris and recorded with Annie Ross. For eight years he lived in
Spain and then moved to Mannheim, Germany before returning to the U.S.
In 1980 he took jazz singer Laurie Antonioli on his final tour. During their
eight-month sojourn performing in Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Switzerland,
Antonioli and Poindexter were a few days away from going to Paris to record with
Kenny Drew when Poindexter suffered a stroke. Antonioli returned him to San
Francisco. Having lost the ability to play saxophone, he could sing and
Antonioli performed with him in 1986, his final performance at Bajone's
nightclub in San Francisco. He published an autobiography, Pony Express, in
1985, but had been largely forgotten in America by the time of his death in
1988. Here comes the remastered reissue of his 1962 album pony's express as part
of the jazzconnoisseur series.
