In just a few years, Todd Gordon established himself as “one of Britain’s most popular singers and
entertainers” (Scottish Television). He’d been 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 and swing to encompass many other renowned singers and instrumentalists.
Over the last six years, Todd has performed at many of the most prestigious venues, with frequent appearances at Britain’s top jazz venues, including Pizza Express Jazz Room, The 606 in Chelsea and the world-renowned Ronnie Scott’s. He’s performed at The Plaza and Algonquin hotels in New York – where he even did a duet with actor Christopher Walken, singing “I've Got You Under My Skin” – and also features in major jazz festivals and concerts. He is the first-ever Scottish male jazz singer to have been booked for the London Jazz Festival with his gig at the Royal Opera House in 2007, followed by a sell-out return visit two years later.
His audiences range from intimate jazz club settings to large-scale shows (he regularly compères and performs in “Jazz on a Summer’s Day” – Britain’s biggest jazz event with an audience of 20,000+) and he was also one of four nominees up for a national music award alongside Texas and Annie Lennox. Todd works with the very best British musicians including Alan Barnes, Alec Dankworth and Steve Brown, and has also performed with top US players such as Jay Leonhart, Ted Rosenthal, Joe Cohn, Nicki Parrott and Butch Miles.
Todd’s concerts appeal to a wider audience than just jazz lovers; he has carefully crafted several crowd-pulling, and audience-pleasing concert themes, several of which have garnered 4- and 5- star reviews. These feature line-ups ranging from a top flight trio, to formats including the superb BBC Big Band and award-winning Back to Basie Orchestra.
