Dexter Gordon • 1962 - GO!

 

Dexter Gordon’s quartet album "Go!" was recorded in August of 1962. It is regarded as a veritable masterpiece, in part because of the leader’s playing, and in part because of the talent of the other members of the formation: Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums.

Gordon only recorded one other session with this same formation (on August 29, 1962), which was issued on the album A Swingin’ Affair. Sonny Clark would die shortly after this session in January of 1963 at the age of 31. "Go!" received a five-star rating in Down Beat, with critic Don DeMicheal stating that, “I have been greatly impressed with the playing of Gordon in the last year and a half. In sessions of this caliber so much is done by the soloists that the drummer and bassist often are overshadowed, at least when plaudits are given. But without Higgins and Warren heating up the background this wouldn’t be the superior album it is.

Álbum del cuarteto de Dexter Gordon " Go!" fue grabado en agosto de 1962. Se considera una verdadera obra maestra, en parte por la forma de tocar del líder, y en parte por el talento de los otros miembros de la formación: Sonny Clark al piano, Butch Warren al bajo y Billy Higgins a la batería.

Gordon solo grabó otra sesión con esta misma formación (el 29 de agosto de 1962), que se publicó en el álbum A Swingin' Affair. Sonny Clark moriría poco después de esta sesión en enero de 1963 a la edad de 31 años. "¡Go! recibió una calificación de cinco estrellas en Down Beat, con el crítico Don DeMicheal afirmando que, " He estado muy impresionado con la interpretación de Gordon en el último año y medio. En sesiones de este calibre, los solistas hacen tanto que el baterista y el bajista a menudo se ven eclipsados, al menos cuando se dan aplausos. Pero sin Higgins y Warren calentando el fondo, este no sería el álbum superior que es.
