Grant Gordy • Interpreter

 



Acclaimed progressive acoustic guitarist Grant Gordy makes his first on-the-record foray into straight ahead, electric guitar-driven jazz with Aidan O’Donnell on bass and Alwyn Robinson on drums.

For several years Brooklyn-based guitarist Grant Gordy has been a major voice on the American "acoustic music" scene, and one of the most highly regarded young instrumentalists of his generation. Having held the guitar chair in the legendary David Grisman Quintet for six years, he's also worked alongside such musical luminaries as Edgar Meyer, Steve Martin, Tony Trischka and Darol Anger. Grant has performed all over North America and Europe, everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Montreal Jazz Festival; Jazz at Lincoln Center to Bonnaroo.

His music has been heard on NPR's Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts, and he's received attention from international music periodicals such as The Fretboard Journal, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Japanese bluegrass publication Moonshiner, Just Jazz Guitar and Flatpicking Guitar Magazine.

In addition to freelancing as a soloist and collaborator in New York City-as an acoustic guitarist, and on electric in the city's thriving jazz scene- Grant's current bands include:

Mr Sun, an acoustic supergroup of sorts with Darol Anger (violin), Joe K. Walsh (mandolin) and Aidan O'Donnell (bass)

A duo with guitarist Ross Martin; their debut Year of the Dog was released late 2016

His own band featuring prodigious acoustic talents Alex Hargreaves (violin) and Dominick Leslie (mandolin)
