If you like GO then you need to collect the rest of Dex' early work on BN in the 60's.

JAZZYGUY just listed 3 or 4 of them, all great - esp. if you liked GO.

Wow. Finally got around to picking up this 180g Blue Note remaster from Acoustic Sounds. Highly recommended.

Our Man in Paris is next on the wish list

You know the old saying CB, "great minds ..."

So has it been nippy in your neck of the woods ? Probably a good time to keep those tubes glowin'.

Yes Great Minds!! Nippy? Yesterday Phoenix high of 81 degrees beats record from 1948 of 79 degrees! Had the sunroof open cruising to the thrifts on the way home from work. Found nothing. Like Maxwell Smart would say "and Loving It"

What's it like up there??

I'm sorry, but that's just WRONG on too many levels to address.

The weather folks here were showing that Arctic front reaching all the way down to you, guess that shows you how accurate that science can be a times. Here, the usual winter mix, cloudy/dreary, wet, foggy/damp, chilled on this side of the mtns, snowy & cold the other side (where vinyl_lady's at). But compared to everyone east of the Rockies, pretty darn tolerable. While it just doesn't sound right, stay cool.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
Moanin'
Analog Productions Blue Note re-release on 180g vinyl

This just arrived with Go and a few other records, and I get what all the shoutin's about. Brilliant.

AllMusic Review by Michael G. Nastos
The title selection is a pure tuneful melody stewed in a bluesy shuffle penned by pianist Bobby Timmons, while tenor saxophonist Benny Golson's classy, slowed "Along Came Betty" and the static, militaristic "Blues March" will always have a home in the repertoire of every student or professional jazz band. "Are You Real?" has the most subtle of melody lines, and "Drum Thunder Suite" has Blakey's quick blasting tom-tom-based rudiments reigning on high as the horns sigh, leading to hard bop. "Come Rain or Come Shine" is the piece that commands the most attention, a highly modified, lilting arrangement where the accompanying staggered, staccato rhythms contrast the light-hearted refrains. Certainly a complete and wholly satisfying album, Moanin' ranks with the very best of Blakey and what modern jazz offered in the late '50s and beyond.

Dexter Gordon ‎– Blues Walk! The Montmartre Collection Vol. II

Dex in Europe in '74 at his be-bopping best! Only 4 tunes, but 3 of them over 12 minutes, and 4th just under 10. I scored a nice, clean demo copy of this, quite pleased.

One of the first records I bought back when I first got turned on to jazz. I don't still have it- we're talkin a long time ago- but I may remedy that.
