Gordon Au @ Harborwalk Sounds: Berklee @ The ICA -- FREE -- Presented by Jazz Revelation Records
Thursday June 28, 2007 from 6:00pm - 8:30pm
Institute of Contemporary Art
100 Northern Avenue
Boston, Massachusetts 02110 Get Directions
Gordon Au began to play traditional jazz in middle school, and, by the time he finished high school, he had toured Japan and Australia, and played with jazz greats Gerald Wilson, Benny Green, and Ernie Watts. Au is currently studying jazz composition at Berklee, where he is a recipient of the World Scholarship and the Herb Pomeroy, Clark Terry, and Art Farmer Awards for composition and performance. He was recently selected to join the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, which restarts in New Orleans this fall under the artistic direction of Terence Blanchard.

Jazz Revelation Records presents the 3rd Annual Kendall Square Concert Series, and is collaborating for the first time with the Institute of Contemporary Art to present Harborwalk Sounds: Berklee at the ICA. Both series offer FREE live music on Thursdays throughout the summer (complete schedule of dates and times below). Artists include Berklee student and alumni jazz, world, Latin, and r&b musicians, some of whom are featured on the new Jazz Revelation Records CD The New Old School, including Jake Hertzog, MUNDuO, Mateo Lugo, Zili Misik, Daniel Ori, Alex Terrier, and Juan Ospina.

Jazz Revelation Records (JRR), Berklee's student-run jazz record label, was formed in the spring of 2003. The label is made possible by a grant funded by the college. Under previous management, Jazz Revelation Records successfully released the compilation CDs Rebirth, Two, and Ars Nova. Under the direction of current president Michael Borgida, the label has just released its fourth album, The New Old School. For the new CD, JRR gathered eight young, passionate, and committed artists from around the world, all speaking the traditional language of jazz in a new way.

Harborwalk Sounds: Berklee at the ICA takes place at the museum’s Putnam Investments Plaza, 100 Northern Avenue, on Boston’s waterfront, three Thursdays a month, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., June 14 – August 23. For more information, please call the ICA at (617) 478-3100.
