Discogs mentions two Gavin Gordon releases: this one (from 1949) and a 12" on "Is It Balearic? Recordings" from 2011. 

Actually, that last one is by Coyote featuring Gavin Gordon.

[JSngry]

I know nothing about that Columbia Records Gavin Gordon other than this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Gordon_(composer)

It's a nice enough piece, just as the record is a nice enough record. Nice enough...

There are other Gavin Gordons, though, and not just that one one the electrohousetrancedance record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Gordon

But hey, maybe "Gavin Gordon" is the name of a mysterious spirit that keeps itself alive in random bodies all over the English-speaking world.

Who knows, one day you - or I - could wake up and be Gavin Gordon. The speeds of our constructional molecules being what they are these days, I'd be ready for anything!

Big John Patton ‘Memphis to New York ‘Split’ (Spirit)’

German Blue Note Liberty, stereo. Looks mint - and plays like it !  Noticeably more ‘oomph’ than the Rare Groove LP.

Van Gelder in the runout.

Nice!    Why were you there, Chuck?  Coincidence?  Or some other reason?

Long story shortened - Rudy's wife was ill and he was only doing sessions for Muse and CTI, no new clients. He agreed  to "audition" me so I tagged along with Fred Seibert (producer) to the session. At the end of the session Rudy pulled out his appointment book and asked me when I wanted to record. On August 7. 1978 we recorded Roscoe Mitchell's L-R-G.

[JSngry]

C=3

T=20

I = 9

Therefore CTi = 32

L = 12

R = 18

G = 7

Therefore LRG = 37 (the double minuses multiply into a positive_

Therefore LRG > CTI by 5

per: https://affinitynumerology.com/number-meanings/number-5-meaning.php

The numerology number 5 is a number that expresses its sense of personal freedom.

There's no fixed foundation for the 5; it would be contrary to its vibration. The 5 may be doing something and be intensely interested in it, and the next moment be interested in something else entirely and immediately pursue the new interest.

The number 5 is curious and interested in pretty much everything.

5 is sensual, sensing life and its various intensities and vibrations as it flows through 5's essence. 5 experiences what interests it by observing and feeling and interacting with full focus — while it's still interested.

A person with a 5 in a prominent position generally is comfortable interacting with others.

So if you ever need to borrow money at the bank, show them this.

I was wondering... that gorgeous picture of the percussion set-up on the inside of the gatefold of the album surely wasn't taken at Van Gelder's?

Then I noticed it was only the piece "L-R-G", not the whole album, that was recorded there. Anyway, it's a great album and it sounds terrific.

Wow.  That's important music history right there.

I still think you should write a memoir, Chuck.  ... Or, at the very least, allow someone to conduct an extended interview (over multiple days), to capture your experiences as oral history.  ... I suppose you could even "interview yourself," Glenn Gould-style.  

It would be a valuable addition to the valuable contributions that you've already made to jazz as a producer and label owner.

Seriously.

More Big John P. - Rare Groove. Forgot just how good this one was. George Edward Brown on drums - amazing.

Suff Daddy - Pompette

Pre-ordered this, got delayed, forgot about it and was surprised to receive it last weekend. Took a few spins but it is really growing on me.

I have the Unicorn edition as well. Great!

[JSngry]

Nonesuch dit at least one other Unicorn record, maybe two? Horenstien, both, iirc?

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

Hank Mobley's first solo album: recorded 2 weeks after Bird died. How do you think the death of Bird, influenced the session of BN 5066?

I know that Nonesuch licensed & released Horenstein's recordings of Mahler's First and Third.  There may have been more.  His Mahler Sixth also?

Horenstein's M3 may be his most famous recording, but I think his M1 is even better.  

EDIT: 
Just checked discogs.  Nonesuch also released Horenstein's M6 with the Stockholm PO.  I've never heard that one.
