Description
Rare DEXTER GORDON, "GO!" original Blue Note 4112 pressing LP. Blue Note Records BLP 4112 (Mono). Blue and White, New York Label with "VAN GELDER" & Ear mark in Deadwax Trailing. VG++/EX. Cover would grade higher except for one 3" seam split on top spine and a small crease in upper right hand corner. This LP came from a collection once owned by local Seattle area Jazz DJ and like nearly all of his LPs was rarely played! It's been widely reported that Gordon himself considered Go! his greatest achievement, and (if so) it's easy to hear why. Brimming with conviction and poise, Gordon's gentle-giant sax carries itself with a sort of graceful edge that is difficult to emulate. He's always quick with a humorous quote, yet it always seems to fit just right. He's always languishing behind the beat, yet he never seems late. He possesses an enormous tone, yet he never overwhelms the songs or the listener. He sounds unhurried at any speed. His song selection is typically creative, holding little-known ballads close to his brawny chest like a big, cuddly bear. A stellar rhythm section of the elegantly funky pianist Sonny Clark plus Butch Warren and Billy Higgins doesn't hurt either. Highly recommended for jazz aficionados. Really amazing album, another great find!
Side 1: Cheese Cake, I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry, Second Balcony Jump.
Side 2: Love For Sale, Where are You, Three O'Clock in the Morning.
