Gordon Webster and Friends from New York City. Pianist Gordon Webster is one of the most sought after musicians in the lindy hop world. His tremendous musicianship and passion, supported by his first-hand knowledge of social dancing, have inspired lindy hoppers at hundreds of dance events worldwide. Drawing on influences as diverse as Fats Waller, Count Basie, Oscar Peterson and Gene Harris, Webster serves up a smorgasbord of styles unified by one characteristic: irresistible danceability.

Gordon's brand new CD for lindy hoppers, Happy When I'm With You, was released domestically in September 2009. See DJ Bill Speidel's review of the new album. And listen to Jesse Miner's feature interview on Hey Mr Jesse.
