Wycliffe Gordon: United Soul Experience
by C. Andrew Hovan
It's dangerous to take labels too seriously where music is involved. Take Wycliffe Gordon, for instance. A protégé of Wynton Marsalis and former charter member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, the trombonist is most clearly associated with mainstream sensibilities. 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.

Wycliffe Gordon/Eric Reed: We
by Dave Nathan
German label Nagel Heyer knows a good thing when it sees and hears it. This is the third time it has brought New Orleans/post bop trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and contemporary jazz pianist Eric Reed into the studio. But stylistic classifications are set aside when they get together. These two clearly have a special bond which comes ...
Wycliffe Gordon And Eric Reed: We
by C. Michael Bailey
Concerto for Wycliffe? In classical music, this would be termed a trombone recital. Wycliffe Gordon, arguable the finest trombonist practicing, joins uber-pianist Eric Reed for an assembly of standards, originals and spirituals. The duet is pentultimately the most spare of formats to play within. This spareness is relieved to a degree by Reed's pungently orchestral approach ...

Wycliffe Gordon: The Search
by Jack Bowers
Trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, who has been honing his chops of late with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, puts them to exceedingly good use on his second impressive album in a row for Germany’s splendid Nagel–Heyer label. Gordon has to be on his toes, as he’s pushed hard on a number of selections by his invited guests, ...
