pianist
David Gordon
“An awesome jazz musician, composing dazzling melodies with extraordinary harmonies, and playing with exceptional swing, demonstrating a brilliant virtuoso technique. His world-class playing has the reach and breadth of continual inventiveness and sensitivity.” Jazz Direct
An assured and versatile pianist, David Gordon is one of the few professional jazz musicians who is also a well-established classical artist. An accomplished harpsichordist as well as pianist, David includes work as soloist/director with the likes of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, the London Chamber Orchestra and Concerto Köln and as an award-winning composer he has had works commissioned by festivals, orchestras and fellow musicians alike.
As a jazz pianist he has a repertoire that focuses on original compositions, but also includes material as diverse as folk music from Venezuela, East European dance tunes and Celtic-tinged melodies.
David is a world class talent with a playful sense of humour, which makes all his shows both musically innovative and a lot of fun.
“Gordon...a richly gifted player with a sparkling style and boundless imagination!” Independent on Sunday
"He doesn’t play many notes, but the notes that he does play are almost the selection of a genius" Jazz FM
