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.
