Jon Gagan is best known for his 30 + year association with renown guitarist Ottmar Liebert. In addition to playing bass on over 25 Liebert albums, (including several RIAA-certified gold and platinum and Grammy-nominated titles) he has written numerous string and horn arrangements and scored a full-length string orchestra concert for Liebert. The show was performed by Liebert’s trio along with The NM Philharmonic to a sold-out crowd at Popejoy Hall in March of 2023. As a freelance sideman, Gagan has performed with Milt Jackson, Eddie Harris, Dave Grusin, Christopher Cross, Big Al Anderson, Nat Adderley, Emily Remler, Round Mountain, and Warren Vaché, among many others. In January of 2019, Jon performed a series of duo concerts with guitarist Bruce Dunlap, premiering 24 new Dunlap compositions. A prolific composer, Jon has also released a series of solo albums on Liebert’s SSRI label, Transit 1-3. Among other side projects are “What The What” (2015), “Electric” (2018), and “Still. Life” (2024). Recent recording work includes bass tracks featured on Santa Fe Style by Spanish virtuoso guitarist/singer Juan Jose Alba and Alone by the sister duo Carly and Martina. Joining Jon for tonight’s concert will be Kanoa Kaluhiwa, saxophone: Bert Dalton, piano; and Arnaldo Acosta, drums.
