Biography

Classic Rock hits with jazzy arrangements, an exceptional soulful singer, a vast deep bass player, an energetic South American drummer and an experienced leader and keyboard player.

Gordon Blue's album "The Hippie Standards" is subtitled 'Jazzin Up The Rock Classics'. Enough said. Listen to GORDON BLUE's version of "Whole Lotta Love". Originally a foot stomper for dance-crazed hippies, now this LedZep tune is turned into a loungy jazz groove. GORDON BLUE even go further by morphing Deep Purple's speedy "Speed King" into a Latin swing. All this works perfectly without any guitar: From Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe" to "Still Got The Blues" and "Walk On The Wild Side".
When you are into Seventies Hippie Rock you surely liked (maybe even danced to) the power groove of GOLDEN EARRING's "Radar Love". In GORDON BLUE's swinging version the driving force is brought in on piano (with a Birdland-twist).

GORDON BLUE brings us classics of Seventies Hippie Rock and turns them into a groovy jazz standard style. These swinging transcriptions can perfectly listened to in the best lounges and bars of the world.
