Music reviews of Go!
Music Review: The jerk experiment
Rating: 5 Stars
I was somewhere in a shallow wallow, cursing the coins in my hand, packing the frost into my head, undeterred by doghouses, smocks or military decorations -- deep and fallow. Cheese on a tray, cheese in my veins. My socks bleeding from the incision, I heard the bombs from far away, ear to the ground. Inside I was blight; outside, high-speed whale.
Israel.
Later, we texted to see whether it made any difference: Textuxedo at the formaldehyde, pickled kelp in the marine corsage. The guns were polished, the turkeys were reluctantly cutting themselves into cubes at the salad bar. I dreamt I was in a comma, semi-constipated in my colon, unable to finish, shimmering like an escaped parenthesis, shimmying up the cliff's grand vulvas, wide open. Sigh.
Comfort yourself in the empty impasse between here and now, in the never finding Godot, in alarms, in your dust removal and your staircases. Clowns in the wood chipper and the world reduced to a 50 million pound gallstone, detached and soon to be reunited.
Description of Go!
Dexter Gordon considered this his finest album and few would disagree. With the perfect rhythm section of Sonny Clark, Butch Warren and Billy Higgins, this tenor giant reinvents standards like "Three O'Clock In The Morning," "Second Balcony Jump" and "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry" and introduces his most famous composition "Cheese Cake."Just before heading off to a 15-year stay in Europe, the stately Dexter Gordon waxed a pair of records for Blue Note in August 1962: this classic and, two days later, A Swingin' Affair. 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. --Marc Greilsamer
