Wycliffe Gordon is one of the top trombonists in jazz today. His improvisations are melodic and exciting, his tone is sweet and expressive, and everything he plays swings like crazy. He has performed all over the world, received countless awards from fans and critics, and collaborated with far too many great jazz artists to list. In addition to his prominence as a performer, Gordon is a composer, arranger, educator, and author. He has composed music for a variety of world-class ensembles as well as for film and television productions. His outstanding work as an educator includes international clinics and master classes for students of all ages, as well as extensive teaching at Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Stanford Jazz Workshop. As a musical diplomat for the U.S. State Department, Gordon promotes a positive vision of worldwide harmony (not to mention melody and rhythm). The creative originality and irrepressible joy of Gordon’s music are well-served by a top-notch Bay Area rhythm section featuring Matt Clark on piano, John Shifflett on bass, and Jason Lewis on drums.

“Mr. Gordon has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the premier trombonists of our time. A superior technician with a gift for buoyant swing, Mr. Gordon, above, is a feel-good player, made of much the same stuff as the trumpeter Clark Terry.”
