Bobby Gordon is best-known for his Arbors recordings and for his association with Marty Grosz in the Orphan Newsboys. He recorded three early albums for Dot (1962-1963) that sought to capitalize on the popularity of folk music and Acker Bilk's string hits. Gordon, who sometimes hints at Pee Wee Russell (although his tone is a lot smoother), has recorded more worthy sets for Jump and Arbors and lives in the San Diego area, although he is sometimes coaxed away to play at jazz parties and festivals. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
