Dave Gordon – Pianist and Composer
Dave Gordon grew up in Chicago and began playing piano at age 9. His musical
path through high school led him to Berklee College of Music where he
graduated in 1978. His musical encounters include performances and recordings
with Joe Henderson, Phil Wilson, John LaPorta, Tiger Okoshi and well known
guitarist Mike Stern. He studied Jazz piano with the late great James
Williams.
In 1981 with “Bagel O’ Fun”, Gordon collaborated with
saxophonist Brian Gephart and recorded with prominent guitarist Bill Frisell
(“Atmosphere” on Willow Records). In 1984 Gordon released
"Green Things", a collection of originals which featured several
different groups and included Howard Levy, Steve Eisen, Brian Gephart
and others.
Gordon's first original CD on Southport Records "Turn" and the
subsequent CD "Faux Real" featured both live tracks from "Sparrow
Sound Design" Studios and Gordon’s home studio, "Saturn
Productions."
Dave Gordon’s current CD release, “Constantly Evolving”
features tracks recorded on his Steinway in his home studio. The CD was
produced by Gordon and Gephart for Birch Tree Records, and features Gephart,
Corky Siegel, Dave Zielinski, Anthony Brock, Chris Clemente and Dushun
Mosely.
