Gordon Lee, who was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame On October 7, 2023, is a composer, jazz pianist, arranger, conductor and music educator.
Gordon is well known throughout the Pacific Northwest and has worked with Don Cherry, Obo Addy, Houston Person, Joe Lovano, Bobby Hutcherson, Benny Golson, Jim Pepper, and Mel Brown among many others. His new band plays his original music, much of it written during the seclusion of Covid. Now he’s busting out to bring this music to the Pacific Northwest. He has two albums coming out this year on PJCE Records; one with the quartet and one solo.
With an outstanding band, Gordon Lee blazes new paths, forging the highest quality original music, with the deep spiritual commitment that music can make a better world to live in while presenting the public with music’s potential.
