Wycliffe Gordon


Wycliffe Gordon – perennial Trombonist of the Year – returns to PJS for his sixth smash appearance!

Wycliffe Gordon has experienced an impressive career touring the world performing hard-swinging, straight-ahead jazz and receiving 
great acclaim from audiences and critics alike. His unmatched modern mastery of the plunger mute and his exceptional technique and signature sound have solidified Gordon’s place in musical history as one of the top trombonists of his generation. Jazz Journalists Association named him “Trombonist of the Year” in 2001, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011, and he is a past recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Vanguard Award, among others. Gordon is a former veteran member of the Wynton Marsalis Septet, Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and has been a featured guest artist on Billy Taylor’s Jazz at the Kennedy Center Series.
