David Gordon Trio
“a richly gifted player with a sparkling style and boundless imagination”
Independent on Sunday
Described by the Independent as "a richly gifted player with a sparkling style and boundless imagination", pianist David Gordon is one of the few professional musicians who is equally established in both the jazz and classical worlds. Along with Oli Hayhurst-bass and Tom Hooper-drums the Trio's recording 'Alexander Scriabin's Ragtime Band' was named MOJO's Jazz CD of the Year" and subsequent projects, the album "Pachyderm" and their tribute to the 19th century French composer Gabriel Fauré were received with similar warmth & enthusiasm.
Last year, they released their first live album ‘In C’, which as the title states has as its central concept the fact the entire set is performed in the key of C! Tonight at this 606 show their first set will be taken from the record, while the second will feature some of the trio's much-loved compositions, new and old. A world-class talent with a playful sense of humour, David's performances are both intriguing and fun.
