The David Gordon Trio has a unique and individual sound world, a strong pedigree and a worldwide following. Their music is characterised by searingly beautiful melodies, free-flowing improvisation and quick-fire humour. All their recordings have received rave reviews in media in the US, Japan and Europe, where they have sold more than 10,000 CDs.

 

The trio has played festivals, radio and clubs in Europe and the UK, also collaborated with a wide variety of artists, from singer Jacqui Dankworth and saxophonists Andy Sheppard and Jerry Underwood, guitarist John Etheridge to tap-dancer/vocalist Lucy Dixon. A prize-winning composer, David’s composition for the trio Angel Feet appears in Sher Music’s ‘The European Real Book’, and he was commissioned to write a work for the trio + London Chamber Orchestra, entitled ‘Inspired by Bach’. The piece was first performed to a sold-out Cadogan Hall in London in April 2013.

‘David Gordon is a musician of dazzling range.  Here he presents a playful, ingenious, irreverent and deeply respectful reimagining of the eccentric Russian composer’s oeuvre in which Scriabin’s music is filtered through Irving Berlin, foo-de-oh-do vocals, impressionistic jazz, ambient electro, samba, and whatever else occurs to the extravagantly resourceful pianist.’  Mojo
