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.
