Bio
.... ..As a graduate of the Monk Institute, the highest-level jazz education program in the world, Gordon is at the forefront of creating the next generation of jazz music. His unique creative voice is the product of a continuing evolution beginning with learning the traditional jazz of New Orleans, playing in big bands throughout school, studying trumpet and composition at Berklee College of Music, experimenting with electronic music and fusion, and, most recently, studying and playing with the greatest living masters of jazz through the Monk Institute... ..Gordon was one of just seven fellows at the inaugural New Orleans class of the Thelonious Monk Institute for Jazz Performance, where, under the artistic direction of Terence Blanchard, he and his colleagues honed their skills at performing, composing, and teaching. They gave concerts, clinics, and private lessons in Louisiana as well as around the globe, including New Delhi, Mumbai, the Panama Jazz Festival, and Hollywood. Through the Institute, Gordon has studied and performed with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chaka Khan, Zakir Hussain, George Benson, Ravi Shankar, Shankar Mahadevan, Brian Blade, George Duke, Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Danilo Perez, Lewis Nash, Ellis Marsalis, Buster Williams, Nicholas Payton, John Scofield, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jimmy Heath, Kenny Barron, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Terri Lyne Carrington, Steve Coleman, Barry Harris, Kurt Elling, Nnenna Freelon, James Genus, Kendrick Scott, Brice Winston, and artistic director Terence Blanchard... ..As an undergraduate, Gordon studied jazz composition and performance at Berklee College of Music, where he recorded with Danilo Perez, co-arranged and recorded with Tiger Okoshi, and performed with Max Weinberg, Jimmy Heath, Makoto Ozone, Bob Mintzer, George Garzone, and Ralph Peterson. While at school, Gordon studied with Joe Lovano, George Garzone, Joanne Brackeen, Hal Crook, Tiger Okoshi, Phil Wilson, Ed Tomassi, and Dave Santoro, among others. Gordon graduated in 2007 with a full scholarship and top departmental awards in both jazz composition and performance... ..Gordon has written big band arrangements for Terence Blanchard, co-arranged and recorded with Tiger Okoshi, transcribed for Chaka Khan, and recorded with the Danilo Perez Big Band. He has served as guest lecturer at Loyola University of New Orleans, taught a course at U.C. Berkeley, taught at countless music camps, and given clinics in Japan, Finland, Panama, and the US. His musical tours have taken him to India, Japan, Australia, England, France, Finland, the Netherlands, and Panama.
