Wycliffe Gordon: Cone's Coup
by C. Andrew Hovan
Of all the musicians who have come through Wynton Marsalis' various ensembles, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon is one of the few who has made the most of his experience while developing an individualistic voice. Although you can hear the history of the music from Dixie to avant garde in his approach, he's been able to successfully channel ...

Wycliffe Gordon: United Soul Experience & Dig This!!
by C. Andrew Hovan
Straight out of the Wynton Marsalis school of jazz, trombone man Wycliffe Gordon cut his teeth with the ubiquitous trumpeter, yet unlike many from the Marsalis clan, Gordon has shown over the past few years that his musical personality takes in far more far reaching influences than the retro styled swing that Marsalis chooses as his ...
Wycliffe Gordon: Dig This!!
by Joe Klee

Wycliffe Gordon: United Soul Experience
by C. Andrew Hovan

Truth be told, however, Gordon has evidenced varied interests by such projects as his studio effort ...
Wycliffe Gordon Quintet: United Soul Experience
by David A. Orthmann
The brainchild of producer Gerry Teekens, United Soul Experience extricates trombonist Wycliffe Gordon from the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra orbit and teams him with some of the most interesting young talent in the Criss Cross stable. Tradition-minded but not predictable, the music alludes to several jazz and funk styles without settling into any one of them. ...
