Todd Gordon

about

In just five years, Todd Gordon has established himself as “one of the country's most popular singers and entertainers” (The Scotsman). He was an avid Beatles fan until the age of eleven when he first heard Sinatra. From then, he collected every album by Ol' Blue Eyes before broadening his interest in jazz to encompass many other renowned singers and instrumentalists. In 1975 he met Ella Fitzgerald prior to her show and, during the concert, she invited him on stage and sang specially to him. He was also fortunate enough to meet some of his other idols, including Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Count Basie, Woody Herman and George Shearing. Spanning a 20 year period, Todd immersed himself in The Great American Songbook, resulting in a repertoire of well over a thousand songs. His interest in music and singing was passionate, yet private. Then, in 2000, he participated in a week-long vocal jazz workshop and that changed everything. His first time on stage came in 2001 at Scotland’s best jazz club and, as the cliché goes, he's never looked back. In 2003, he was booked to open for Dionne Warwick during her UK tour visit which prompted him to give up his 'day job' organizing trade expos. Todd performs at many of the most prestigious venues, with frequent appearances at London's Pizza on the Park and now a regular at The 606 Club in Chelsea as well as Pizza Express in Soho, etc. He has performed at The Plaza and Algonquin hotels in New York – where he even did a duet with
