Jazz Jukebox by Jordan Young

Drummer Jordan Young swings back on the set with a wide array of styles and moods on his 2016 release for Posi-Tone, aptly entitled "Jazz Jukebox." While presenting a diverse variety of selections to delight, engage and entertain listeners, Young consistently pushes his melodic message to the forefront with skillful leadership and ably displays a tasteful command of his own instrument. The session sings and soars from start to finish with the prodigious B-3 genius of Brian Charette, the sensationally sizzling lines of guitarist Matt Chertkoff, and there is also a special guest appearance by saxophonist Nick Hempton, who lends his soulful sounds to the mix for a few tunes. Listeners will certainly enjoy this flowing and thoughtful program of straight forward musical selections.

Raised in the Detroit area, drummer Jordan Young has been an active part of the NYC jazz scene for over a decade. His education includes the University of Michigan, Manhattan School of Music and The Juilliard School.
