electric guitar and acoustic bass and drums...
...someone in AZ called us avant funk...in San Francisco a guy called us mutant jazz and a dude in Oakland, CA said we're whacked jazz...in Ohio some people at a show said we're a jam band mixing experimental and jazz and rock... a friend said we're angular...some dude in NY said we remind him of The Bad Plus... Another dude in NY said we sounded like a mix of Ornette Coleman, Monk and Led Zepplin.
Combine your favorite classical track with one Sex Pistols track then subtract 5 likeabilly points; let ferment for 12 hours before stirring in some old fusion and 4 cups of Thelonious Monk extract... wring in 8 drops of old blues then refrigerate for 2 hours... scoop off the fat from the top and put in down your shorts...contemplate your blind faith...change shorts...learn melodic minor then unlearn it...throw in 3 colors of your choice...bake for 45 minutes at 950 degrees or until carbon. Feed to pigeons on your favorite statue.
John William Gordon grew up and resides in the San Francisco, California Bay Area. He started playing guitar at age 14 after becoming obsessed with recordings of Mahavishnu Orchestra. In college he fixated on the music of Charlie Parker then Thelonious Monk. Many jazz, free, rock, punk and classical players inspire him. He still plays in a pianoless Monk cover band. Along the way he studied guitar with Harry Andrew (a graduate of New England Conservatory) and Adam Levy (long before his stint with Norah Jones) and learned much in Attila Zoller’s Vermont workshops with Jim Hall and others.
Hi John I got your CD! Thanxs a bunch I'll listen to it this weekend ok I have been too busy to think (almost)I'll be back at the station on tuesday, but I will contact you before then hopefully, Ok. holla back. Jazzy
Jon Thanks for the add. I enjoyed listening to your music, particularly Belly's Bounce and Harm Alarm. I think that traditionalist disapproval can only come from the envious and small minded and is proof that you are an authentically creative artist with a personal vision. Nice work and congratulations!
