Info zu Moment's Notice

Developing a quick musical rapport over several trio dates with long-time friends, New York bassist David Ambrosio and Seattle drummer John Bishop, Portland pianist Clay Giberson took the inspiration of the moment to craft this collection of originals and works by artists who had influenced him for his 7th album on Origin Records. With the traditional piano trio setting enhanced with subtle sonic backdrops, "Poinciana" soars, while Charlie Haden's "First Song" takes on a haunting grace. Others such as Horace Silver's "Mayreh" and Keith Jarrett's "So Tender" keep their essence intact while revealing the trio's connection and musical sensibilities.

"...his sound is intimate and personal, full of thought-provoking beauty." (AllAboutJazz)

Clay Giberson
Keyboardist and composer Clay Giberson is an innovative voice in the contemporary jazz scene of the Pacific Northwest. Emotionally compelling, his music grooves as much as it dazzles with harmony, lyricism and rhythmic intricacy.

Giberson’s performances convey a deep appreciation of structure and form but pay equal tribute to the pulse and sonic landscape that frame his musical ideas. Clay’s musical personality owes something to his childhood spent on a farm in Woodland, Washington. His mother, a classical piano teacher, infused his early life with music and he grew up both in the fields and at the piano. He studied jazz piano at the University of Miami and later established himself in New York where he also earned a Master’s degree in music technology. He has performed throughout Europe, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, Caribbean and Japan. Clay currently resides in Portland, Oregon where he teaches, records, produces and performs.

Clay has released six recordings on the premier jazz label Origin Records, the latest being "Pastures" featuring saxophonist Donny McCaslin, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Matt Wilson. Also he has seven releases with his Portland-based groups Upper Left Trio and Go By Train. His collaboration with saxophonist John Nastos, Duo Chronicles, is a time-based project in which the musicians compose, record and disseminate a video performance every week for one year. Clay also works with jazz, pop, latin and funk artists such as Mel Brown, Dan Balmer, and Jessie Marquez.
