SUMMARY:The Arts Center at Duck Creek Music Series Presents The Kayvon Gord
 on Sextet on July 23
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Center at Duck Creek (https://www.duckcreekarts.org/)

 on Piano\, Dean Torrey on Bass and Shakoor Hakeem on Percussion\, with Kay
 von Gordon\, Joel Ross\, David Leon and Elias Stemeseder being Duck Creek 
 Music Series alumni.\n\n“We will be doing a completely improvised set of
  music\, with the idea that we’ll be listening the entire time\, which I
  suppose already puts us in pretty ambitious territory…I got into this t
 ype of work by playing a lot of different types of music and realizing tha
 t a lot of the deepest moments occurred before you could really name them 
 or pin them down\,” says Kayvon Gordon. “I’m really attracted to the
  danger in that. I like the fact that music can still surprise the people 
 making it and the sound of this band is very much that\, very much the sou
 nd of inventing a language while you’re speaking it.”\n\nKayvon Gordon
  was born and raised in Detroit. At a young age\, he was taken under the m
 entorship of legendary trumpeter Marcus Belgrave. Later\, he went on to th
 e University of Michigan where he studied with Robert Hurst and Benny Gree
 n. Gordon has performed In Europe\, Africa\, South Asia\, The United Arab 
 Emirates\, and North America. He has also had the honor of sharing the sta
 ge with Marcus Belgrave\, Joe Lovano\, Johnny O’Neal\, Robert Hurst\, Ro
 dney Whitaker\, Sullivan Fortner\, Ravi Coltrane\, JD Allen and Wynton Mar
 salis\, to name a few. Kayvon Gordon seeks to contribute to the forward-th
 inking aesthetic of his contemporaries while honoring the rich musical leg
 acy of Detroit.
