The trio’s three CDs, Dozen A Day
(1998),
Undiminished (2000), Angel Feet (2002) all released on the ZahZah label, have
received critical acclaim, and each record’s initial pressing sold out,
Japan being the largest market. The players were described as “strong
and inventive musicians” JAZZWISE, and their music is “beautifully
played and recorded” MUSICIAN, and “thoughtful, intelligent,
romantic” CADENCE. |

Dozen a Day
is the result of an extraordinary day of recording at the famous AIR
Studios in London. The David Gordon Trio re-creates the sparkle and
clarity of its live performance in a mixture of original compositions
and jazz standards, presenting a wonderful range of moods and contrasts.
At one end of the spectrum the bright nursery rhyme quality of the
opening track Mr. Sam to the
lullaby elements of Blue Pyrenees.
A thrilling début album from this young trio.

Undiminished
In trio playing, as in life, it’s necessary to emerge from the nursery
and to mature. "Undiminshed", the follow-up, is the ambiguously-named
title-track using much more of the language of contemporary jazz than
anything on the first record and includes a last-minute experiment in
adding to the already-rich texture. The trio has now been playing
together for four years, and from our first tour together, in which we
discovered an immediate rapport, we have continued to work on our
interplay.

Angel Feet
is the latest disc from the David
Gordon Trio, and, recorded in December 2002, is the culmination of two
years’ intensive work. The recording is a landmark in the trio’s
development, and their particular style of jazz features Celtic,
‘acoustic groove’ and classical – even baroque – influences, and also
includes the appearance of a tango and a rhumba.
