Jordan O’Connor is a freelance Jazz bassist, composer, and film editor, currently studying to be a psychotherapist. Art begins the moment we ask a question. Over the years Jordan has worked with many artists in many idioms. What remains constant is the relationship between connection and expression. “Most of what I have learned” Jordan said, “is about unlearning. And that’s a humbling experience.” For Jordan, Jazz is about melody and improvisation; a mixing of romantic and modernist aesthetics, within the here and now experience of being in the moment playing. “This is something I bring to my work in film and will bring to my work as a counsellor. There is nothing like being on the edge of emotion.”
