Wycliffe Gordon Quartet: Performing Group in New York

About Wycliffe Gordon Quartet

The Wycliffe Gordon Quartet is led by trombonist and composer Wycliffe Gordon, known in New York circles for his tenure with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. The group brings his arrangements and a multi-instrumental approach into a small-ensemble setting, drawing on bebop, big band language, and the church-rooted strain of christian jazz. They appear at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts as part of the Queens Jazz Trail Concert series, with Wolfgang Gong featured on the program. Their performances favor structure and swing over display.
