"One cool cat," Philip Gordon has been playing music since he was 13. A natural on the saxophone, he has released three albums and is currently working on his fourth. He gave me a copy of his newest CD, "Stolen Moments," and two weeks later it is still in my CD player. His music is influenced by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, and Stan Getz. Though his full-time profession is architecture, his passion is his music. Over the years, he has performed live in different big bands and has also done freelance studio work. Known as San Francisco's "King of Swing," Philip Gordon and The Out of Nowhere Band have been together for four years performing at clubs, festivals, as well as corporate and private parties all over the Bay Area. The band is available as a quartet or as a quintet with vocals. Before your event, Philip will work with you to customize the list of songs you like. 

During dinner, the band will play your favorite jazz tunes in the background. When it is time for dancing, they will turn up the volume and play swing, big band, motown, and rhythm and blues. Making all the necessary announcements, guests will not miss your first dance, cake cutting, or garter toss. You can hear song samples on his website (www.bluematrix.org) or see them perform live at one of his regular appearances in San Francisco. He is at the Cafe Metropol on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, Farley's Cafe on the third Wednesday of every month, and every Sunday night at the Marriott Hotel, View Lounge, 34th floor. The publisher of Bay Arts and Music Magazine, John Rocker, wrote: "Gordon turns jazz into poetry and his songs into beautiful music, few will be unmoved by his passion and eloquence." ~ Critic and Music Reviewer, Jon Webster  http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/philipgordon
