From 1978 trombonist John Gordon’s ‘Erotica Suite’ is one of the more obscure LPs on Strata East. The first track on this ultra rare LP is a four-part suite that culminates in the brilliant Spiritual Jazz of ‘Consequences’. The beautiful ‘Neleh’ is a gem with Gordon in fine form as is flautist James Spaulding. ‘Blue Na’ starts in a ponderous, bluesy vein but develops and sporadically breaks into moments of groove laced inprov while ‘Desire’ is an upbeat, pacey piano and horn foot tapper. Grab this whilst you can as once this pressing is gone, it will be impossible to find with originals scarce and hard to find.
