Gordoné
Bob
Gordon (aka Gordoné) has been keeping the beat for over four
decades
drumming rhythm & blues, big band, jazz, rock, folk and country
styles for some of the top bands and shows throughout New England and
New York. Best known for his classical dynamic drumming, live or in the
studio, Bob also sings backup vocals and plays guitar and
keyboards. As a professional musician Bob has written,
arranged, engineered and produced recordings and jingles for local
radio and video. A veteran drummer, be it for a soft jazz
trio, blasting big band, Broadway show tunes or full tilt rock
Bob’s innovative style always provides a solid, rhythmic
foundation.
He
has shared the stage with acts as diverse as Twisted Sister, Marshall
Tucker, Rory Block and Lionel Hampton.
Bob
was quoted in Newsday as saying his unique style derived from growing
up on Long Island during the 1960s where he would regularly see jazz
greats like Buddy Rich, Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong and Clark Terry
counter balanced by aspiring local rock groups like Vanilla Fudge,
Young Rascals, Billy Joel (then playing with the Hassels) and touring
groups like The Allman Brothers and Jimi Hendrix.
