The record
A patchwork of Gordon's early-60s Blue Note dates, later assembled from vaults with shifting rhythm sections -- Sonny Clark and Kenny Drew trading piano duties, Philly Joe Jones and Willie Bobo splitting drum chairs. Uneven pedigree aside, Gordon's tone stays unmistakably broad and behind-the-beat, a through-line across sessions that never made his original LPs.
