Pianist David Gordon tells why he was attracted to the music of this Russian composer

David Gordon Trio plays music which is influenced by the composer Alexander Scriabin who died in 1915 just as jazz was beginning to surface. We discover the connection from David.

There's also jazz from the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, Oscar Peterson, the current Count Basie Orchestra, Monty Alexander, Roland Kirk, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Freddy Randall plus much more.
