Honkin' fever
This guy, that I've re-baptized “Honkin'
Sax Gordon”, puts in studio the same passion and energy he gives in
his live performances. His second album is rightly titled : he
really knocks you out with his explosive mix of bebop jazz, R'n'B,
jump and blues, accompanied by an exciting bunch of jumpers like
Marty Ballou (bass), Marty Richards (drums), Matt McCabe (piano), Tom
West (organ on three titles) and the ever excellent Duke Robillard
(guitar).
It all starts at 90 mph with a track
announcing what's awaiting you on the twelve muscular or cooler
following numbers. His tenor sax is switching from screaming to warm
bluesy jazz tenderness as the tracks unwind and you're getting
feverish after a few songs.
