Gordon 'Sax' Beadle is a gifted young musician who explores an era of the saxophone pantheon not often heard these days, when a wild strain of jazz mutated into the leading R&B instrumental sound of the day. Gordon builds on the raw, wailing, honking sound of such players as Illinois Jacquet, Big Jay McNeely, Arnett Cobb and Noble Watts, authentically honoring the R&B sax heyday of the 1940s and 1950s. You Knock Me Out was produced by guitarist extraordinaire Duke Robillard, who leads an all-star band of New England players through a set remarkable both for its musicianship and its rollicking good-time spirit. Sax Gordon tours Europe extensively, and is well known, stateside, for his appearances with Robillard, Roomful of Blues and many others.
