John Gordon - Erotica Suite (1978) [vinyl>flac]

Another US jazz holy grail finally reissued by Superfly. Probably the rarest Strata-East release, this Erotica Suite by John Gordon is just a splendid modal jazz with deep tracks like Neleh with enchanting flute lead or the spiritual jazz 4th movement consequences. Absolutely cult album, beautiful repress! ~ diggersdigest.com.

Top quality Superfly reissue of the most elusive Strata East LP that even the most accomplished collectors do not have, superb funky modal Jazz all the way. ~ superflyrecords.com.
