Joseph Henry Gordon was born May 15, 1928 in Boston, MA and died November 4, 1963 in Santa Monica, CA.
While this is the most comprehensive and accurate discography on Joe Gordon ever produced, there still may be omissions and errors. Please help if you can.
Thanks to contributors:
Ed Berger, Jürgen Bliedtner, Ed Chaplin, Noal Cohen, Ira Gitler, Peter Keepnews, Nikolaus Schweizer, Ben Young
Special thanks to all the staff at the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies where I had access to virtually every issue listed in the discography as well as the various relevant published sources.
