Dexter Gordon - "Go!" / Capitol Music Group; Blue Note; Jazz; By the time he recorded Go! In 1962, Dexter Gordon had already lived several lifetimes in jazz. He was among the first to adapt the language of bebop to the tenor saxophone in the 1940s, but after a decade in which personal troubles limited his output, he signed with Blue Note in 1961 and began a run of essential albums that marked a rebirth for the tenor giant. Featuring a quartet with Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, Go! #was a showcase of Gordon's limitless creativity on hard-swinging numbers like his great tune "Cheese-Cake," and a sure-footed version of "Love for Sale," as well as his peerless artistry on ballads as evidenced on stunning takes of the standards, "I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry" and "Where Are You." Available on 180gram blue vinyl. Limited Edition. Indie Exclusive.

The Horace Silver Quintet -"Song For My Father (Cantiga Para Meu Pai)" Capitol Music Group; Blue Note; Jazz; A decade into his recording career, pianist Horace Silver made the album that would endure as the crown jewel of a catalog that boasts numerous hard-bop classics. Song For My Father captured the transition of his quintet with two tracks taken from an October 1963 session with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor, and Roy Brooks. A year later, Silver entered Val Gelder Studio again with a new band, featuring Carmell Jones, Joe Henderson, Teddy Smith and Roger Humphries for a session that yielded four more cuts, including what would become his signature tune, "Song for My Father," a dedication to his father that was inspired by both his Cape Verdean heritage and the music Silver had heard on a recent trip to Brazil.

More than any other album in the canon of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, 1958’s Moanin’ – featuring the great drummer with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merritt – was the perfect crystallization of the band’s bluesy, soulful sound, and it still stands today as perhaps the most quintessential hard bop recording off all-time. Originally self-titled, the album was later renamed Moanin’ due to the popularity of Timmons’ unforgettable opening track. The album also introduced several indelible Golson compositions that would become standards of the jazz songbook, including “Along Came Betty,” and “Blues March.”
