The Gordon Grdina Trio: . . . If Accident Will

Read ". . . If Accident Will" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Guitarist/oudist Gordon Grdina is one of those rare musicians who is at home in several genres, bringing a strong presence to his music. He is as adept in improvised music as he is in Arabic Taqaism or Indian music. He can let his oud sing a rapturous song and make his guitar rock loud and heavy. ...

Gordon Grdina's East Van Strings: The Breathing of Statues

Read "The Breathing of Statues" reviewed by Matt Marshall


Guitarist/oudist Gordon Grdina has gathered a marvelous string trio to fulfill a longtime desire of producing music in the mode of Béla Bartók. The compositions on The Breathing of Statues were written specifically for the trio involved--violinist Jesse Zubot, violist Eyvind Kang and cellist Peggy Lee--after Grdina had played with them freely. Grdina's writing then served ...

Gordon Grdina's Boxcutter: Unlearn

Read "Unlearn" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland


You can tell that guitarist Gordon Grdina does not perceive music through a guitarist's eyes solely. The tunes on Unlearn, with his group Box Cutter, seem formed from deeply collaborative ideas, with considerable importance placed on the contribution of each player and a great regard for their respective instruments. Musicianship on the album ...

Gordon Grdina - Gary Peacock - Paul Motian: Think Like The Waves

Read "Think Like The Waves" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Allievo di Gary Peacock, Gordon Grdina è un musicista che segue con pari interesse il jazz e le musiche di origine orientale. Non a caso, il nostro affianca alla chitarra l'oud, ovvero il liuto della tradizione araba. E se il suo stile chitarristico, ricco di raffinatezze armoniche e qualche sinuosa spigolosità nell'incedere, ha evidenti richiami a ...

Gordon Grdina / Gary Peacock / Paul Motian: Think Like the Waves

Read "Think Like the Waves" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


Vancouver electric guitarist Gordon Grdina's tone is clean and low-treble; this creates a kind of dreamy effect, like Jim Hall's sound on his classic duet with Bill Evans, Undercurrent (Blue Note, 1962). And speaking of Evans, Grdina scores an impressive coup by recording this trio album in the company of two Evans alumni, bassist Gary Peacock ...
