JOE GORDON

Lookin' Good

This now forgotten trumpet player passed away aged 35 and should earn further recognition.

Lookin' Good was his only album recorded under his own name.

You need to be careful what you say. There's always someone else who knows better!

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

i know a record that looks even better, its called Laura Dern's greatest hits

[Kyo]

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.

??? I don't get it. Is this some kind of Joe Gordon dig?

[JSngry]

I have an EmArcy 10" of that one and it's green instead of red. Whazzupwidat, Vol 1 & Vol 2?

[Big Beat Steve]

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.

September 8, 1954

You're right. I missed the September 1954 session - Introducing ..... Joe Gordon

An LP to search for !!

Introducing was a 10 inch, not an album, so technically durium was right

Bertrand.

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?

[mikeweil]

The Blakey CD has 16 tracks:

Tracks 1-8 from EmArcy 10" LP MG 26030 Blakey

all recorded May 20, 1954

Tracks 9-12 from EmArcy 10" LP MG 26046 Introducing Joe Gordon

Tracks 13-14 were added to the 12" LP reissue of that under the same title - MG 36025

Tracks 15-16 were on 12" LP EmArcy MG 36093 The Jazz School

all recorded September 3 & 8, 1954

[JSngry]

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.

They're from the Gordon date.

[mikeweil]

Agustín beat me to it - Mike Fitzgerald's disco answers all questions.

Same guy who played on the five Manne Blackhawk volumes, right?
