Durium Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 JOE GORDON Lookin' Good This now forgotten trumpet player passed away aged 35 and should earn further recognition.

Kyo Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 That one was issued as a bonus on Art Blakey's "Blakey" (a Verve Elite Edition). I just got it yesterday, haven't had time to listen to it yet but should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelz777 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 i know a record that looks even better, its called Laura Dern's greatest hits ??? I don't get it. Is this some kind of Joe Gordon dig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have an EmArcy 10" of that one and it's green instead of red. Whazzupwidat, Vol 1 & Vol 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 No, just different pressings, I guess. The 10in had 4 tracks, the 12in release had 6, and some later reissues had 8 tracks from those 1954 sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durium Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 You need to be careful what you say. There's always someone else who knows better! September 8, 1954 You're right. I missed the September 1954 session - Introducing ..... Joe Gordon An LP to search for !! Joe Gordon Keep swinging Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Introducing was a 10 inch, not an album, so technically durium was right Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 A 10' LP. "LP" is/was used to denote playing speed, not record size. My mom used to have a 7" "LP" (a promo item from Gerber Baby Foods featuring Rosemary Clooney released by Columbia during the height of the "speed wars") And "album" is used to denote any "collection" of material. There were "albums" of 78s. So technically...I want to know how the damn thing jumped from 4 songs (my version) to 8 over the course of the years, and how many of thos 8 are on the Blakey CD? BTW - I also have a 10" LP album of Blakey (got them both in the same trade back in the day, I gave up the ultra-deluxe WB version of Never Mind The Bollocks..., seemed like a more than fair trade...), so if the Blakey CD is 8+4, I'm even. If it's 8+6 or 8+8, then not. And if it's 8+5 or 8+7, WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 So, are tracks 15-16 more from the Joe Gordan date, or other Blakey material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durium Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 So, are tracks 15-16 more from the Joe Gordan date, or other Blakey material? More Jo Gordon stuff. See his online discography at my Disco links sites and search on that page for < jazz school > or the 3rd and 8th September 1954 sessions.
