I had listened to other jazz before, but GO! was my first love. It seems when I put this record on I find myself listening to the sound of his horn first and foremost. I can’t explain it any better than to say I can get lost in it. In my head Dexter is just leaning back telling his story, no hurry, no hassle. The other lp that hits me in the same way is Ben Webster – Did You Call? Sometimes a little reminder to kick-back and just be is exactly what I need. Of the handful of other Dexter records I have nothing comes close to hitting me the way this one does, don’t know why and I’m not really worried about it.
