Come meet the newly appointed Director of Education for The Nash, Clark Gibson! As you’ll see (and hear), Clark is a very qualified musician and we’re thrilled that he is assuming this important role in the development of The Nash Education programs. For this performance he’ll be stretching out with some of the finest players Phoenix has to offer in a night of original compositions and straight-ahead jazz.

Over the past 20 years, Clark has worked with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, the Temptations, the Four Tops, Tito Puente Jr., The Jim Knapp Orchestra, Pat Bianchi, Doc Severinson, Lalo Rodriguez, the Seattle Latin-All Stars, Tombau, Dina Martin, Clarence Acox, Greta Matassa, Jay Thomas and many others.

In 2015 Gibson released, “Charlie Parker with Strings: The Lost Arrangements”, receiving outstanding reviews from publications such as Down Beat Magazine, Jazz Weekly, Allaboutjazz.com, Oklahoma Magazine, Jazz Wax, Los Angeles Jazz Scene and more.This project has led to a new facet in his performance and recording career as he combines ensembles that have instrumentation from the jazz as well as orchestra tradition.

In September of 2019, Gibson self-released “Tri-Colored Eyes” featuring world renowned B3 organist Pat Bianchi, Jim Pisano on tenor sax, Euan Edmonds on trombone and Jeremy Thomas on drums. This all original music project has enjoyed national attention and great reviews from Rootsville Jazz, Blues and Roots – Europe, Jazz Quad – Russia, Japan’s Jazz Life, Midwest Record Reviews, Makingascene.org, The Aquarius Weekly and more. Upcoming shows with the CGQ feature Michael Dease, Pat Bianchi, Sean Jones, Nick Mancini and Lewis Nash.
