NYC: GERALD CLAYTON TRIO AT THE IRIDIUM - LAST SHOW TONIGHT

NYC: GERALD CLAYTON TRIO AT THE IRIDIUM - LAST SHOW TONIGHT

Keystone Korner Nights / Todd Barkan presents Gerald Clayton Trio at IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Over the course of eight years, with three albums as a leader, several studio projects as a sideman, and countless worldwide performances, pianist and composer Gerald Clayton has established himself as a leading figure in the up-and-coming generation of jazz artists who are fluent in the range of styles that make up today's jazz lexicon. Born in the Netherlands in 1984 and raised in Southern California, Clayton took his first piano lessons before age seven with the full support and encouragement of his father, the acclaimed jazz bassist, composer and bandleader, John Clayton. Music was a central part of his life from as long as he can remember. Clayton is well on his way toward etching his own enduring mark in the long and rich tradition of jazz. Never has this been more apparent than in Life Forum, his latest recording on Concord Jazz and his most ambitious project to date. In 2009, he released Two Shade, his debut album as a leader, with bassist Joe Sanders and drummer Justin Brown. Sanders and Brown have remained with him for his two subsequent records. It was from this recording that Gerald received a 2010 Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Improvised Jazz Solo" for his rendition of Cole Porter's "All of You."
