A Letter to Dexter is an album by pianist George Cables, performing tunes associated with saxophonist Dexter Gordon, that was recorded in 2004 and released by the Kind of Blue label in 2006.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Rick Anderson said "Pianist George Cables, who spent some of his formative years accompanying saxophone great Dexter Gordon, pays tribute to the man with a nicely varied collection of tunes written by or associated with Gordon, A Letter to Dexter ... Cables has a decorous and romantic playing style, and combined with a rhythm section as mighty as this one, the results should be magnificent.

Unfortunately, there are occasional moments when the rhythmic thread is lost and the groove falters.

[3] On All About Jazz, Chris May stated "There's nothing revolutionary here, but some mighty fine music and enough good vibes to make you feel happier with the world (for a while, anyway)".
