Tenor Saxophone Master Dexter Gordon: "Go!"
from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver
Our first Jazz Feature for the New Year! We begin a month of Features that are classics and also raved about and praised by the Jazz critics and press. In November we featured albums that were dismissed by the critics but despite that became Jazz classics. This month's Features are classics and critically acclaimed. Dexter Gordon's "Go!" is a classic. The great tenor saxophonist is in top form and backed by a superb rhythm section with Sonny Clark on piano, Edward "Butch" Warren on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. This also is Dexter's own personal favorite of his many recordings. One original, "Cheese Cake' by Dexter opens the album on a high level then various standards and ballads are performed plus the definitive version of Cole Porter's "Love For Sale". "Go!" is an essential album in anyone's collection. Hear it tonight!
