Harpsichordist, jazz pianist and composer David Gordon trained as a mathematician at Bristol University before turning to music full time. He has since toured all over the world with various groups, including the gypsy-tango band Zum, the baroque orchestra The English Concert, the piano-led jazz group David Gordon Trio and the early-music/jazz group Respectable Groove, and has also toured with violinist Andrew Manze and singer Jacqui Dankworth.
As soloist/director he has appeared with both London Chamber Orchestra and Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. A self-taught jazz player, he appears on numerous CDs as composer, leader and sideman. His works are to be heard on radio both in the UK and abroad, and he is regularly commissioned by festivals, publishers and fellow musicians.
