Clifford Brown and Max Roach recorded "Blues Walk" in '55, but Stitt recorded "Loose Walk" at least 2 years before. Same tune. Dexter new these guys, and he undoubtably would have known the recordings. If he says this is a Stitt tune, well, I'm inclined to think he's a better authority than any of us or some record company, but who knows? Back then, record companies didn't always put the best effort into accuracy of the names of tunes, composers, etc.

Those were the days. Not only musicians carried themselves with such class. It was society itself. Men nowadays dont seem to care to carry themselves with seriousness and firmness. We have a bunch of Charlatans who just cant appreciate the good things in life such as this fine music. Hip Hop anyone??

. . Blues Walk or Loose Walk just for the Companies , performers are desapeared , listeners live forever !

Dexter has always been one of my favorite sax players.Perhaps a bit underrated.His Go album is a"go" from beginning to end.This,well speaks for itself.

The rhythm section just about manage to kling-on as Captain Gordon helms another blues performance into hyper space at warp 10. Scotty must have been having kittens in the engine room cos Dexter just keeps his foot on the floor for light years of choruses. If only Dexter hadn't been beamed up...still, we've got the recordings.
