Dexter Gordon - Go! LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)
By the time he recorded GO! in 1962, Dexter Gordon had already lived several lifetimes in jazz. He was among the first to adapt the language of bebop to the tenor saxophone in the 1940s, but after a decade in which personal troubles limited his output, he signed with Blue Note in 1961 and began a run of essential albums that marked a rebirth for the tenor giant. Featuring a quartet with Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, GO! was a showcase of Gordonâs limitless creativity on hard-swinging numbers like his great tune âCheese Cakeâ and a sure-footed version of âLove for Sale,â as well as his peerless artistry on ballads as evidenced on stunning takes of the standards âI Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dryâ and âWhere Are You.â This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.Tracklist:A1: Cheese CakeA2: I Guess Iâll Hang My Tears Out To TryA3: Second Balcony JumpB1: Love For SaleB2: Where Are YouB3: Three OâClock In The Morning
