Almost 40 years ago, Jon Gordon entered a New York club called 7th Avenue South and heard the Art Taylor Quartet. “It was the first live jazz I’d heard in my life,” says the acclaimed saxophonist, composer, and educator. Named for that club, and all the incredible music he’s heard around that neighborhood through the years, Gordon’s May release celebrates his early experiences as a listener and a burgeoning artist. Expect an evening of new music, reimagined originals, and compositions from some of Gordon’s favorite artists – delivered by his virtuosic large ensemble.

Jazz At Lincoln Center

Million Seller is the new album and project led by Matthew Calvert, one of the founding members of the underground alt-rock sensation Three Trapped Tigers. The inspiration for the project originated as Matt revisited his collection of early 70s releases by Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi group – some of the pianist’s most overlooked and least understood albums – 50 years on from that band’s last release (Sextant, 1973).
