Go!

The studio album ‘Go‘ by American jazz musician Dexter Gordon featuring Sonny Clark, Butch Warren and Billy Higgins was released 1962. According to the liner notes by Ira Gitler, this session was “not recorded in a nightclub performance but, in its informal symmetry, it matches the relaxed atmosphere that the best of those made in that manner engender. Everyone was really together, in all the most positive meanings of that word.” It is “unanimously hailed by jazz critics as one of his greatest ever albums”. Gordon was among the most influential early bebop musicians and was also known as “Long Tall Dexter” and “Sophisticated Giant” due to his height of almost 2 meters.
