Dexter Gordon is in the news, or more specifically, his Manhattan Symphonie CD. It's on the list of DRM-ed recordings being recalled. My copy has no license agreement or install software but unfortunately, I don't have a working turntable so I haven't heard it in awhile. Speaking of Gordon, here's today's "Gordons" playlist:
- Tinge from Light Is Calling. Michael Gordon
- Just an Ordinary Guy. Ricky Ian Gordon. Kristin Chenoweth
- The Low Quartet. Michael Gordon. Brian Sacawa
- Lullaby in Rhythm. Dexter Gordon
- Horning In. Dexter Gordon
- Sundown. Gordon Lightfoot
- Carefree Highway. Gordon Lightfoot
- Pendulum Music. Steve Reich. Sonic Youth (including Kim Gordon)
- The Duel. Dexter Gordon and Wardell Edwards
- As Time Goes By. Dexter Gordon
Gordons Getty, Mumma, and Harker (he sang in Peter Pan) didn't make the cut.
Pitchfork reviews Light Is Calling:
...an accessible work that remains uncompromising in its subtle complexity and is a truly coherent meeting of styles. While the album isn't completely consistent, it achieves at its best moments a totally strange and unheard beauty.
