AAJ: Do you know when your biography of Dexter will be released?
Maxine Gordon: I hope to complete it this year and published next year, 2013, which will be the occasion of Dexter’s 90th birthday. My agent is currently talking with various publishers.
… I’m also planning my next book, which will be on Shirley Scott, Melba Liston, and Maxine Sullivan, a social history of three prominent women in jazz. They’re three very important figures in jazz, and I’ll include a fictive conversation on what they would say to each other now. Melba was very close to Dexter, who felt he learned so much from her. When he was a student in L.A., she did all the band arrangements. He loved her. He always called her „Mischievous Lady,“ and they hung out together until the end.
