Go! is a studio album by
jazz musician
Dexter Gordon featuring Sonny Clark, Butch Warren and Billy Higgins, recorded on August 27, 1962 and released in the same year on
Blue Note. 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 was recorded by
Rudy Van Gelder at the
Van Gelder Studio in
Englewood Cliffs.
Since its release, Go! has received very positive reviews from critics, with uDiscover Music—published by
Universal Music Group—declaring that it is "unanimously hailed by jazz critics as one of his greatest ever albums".[6]AllMusic giving it a five star rating. The album was re-released in March 1999 as part of Blue Note's
RVG Series, produced by
Michael Cuscuna. In 2019, Go! was selected by the
Library of Congress for preservation in the
National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[7][8]
