About Wycliffe Gordon: Welcome to Georgia TownChucho Valdés Quintet Plays the StandardsFrom Cuba to the Crescent City The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Wycliffe Gordon is a jazz trombonist, composer, and arranger whose work often moves between classic swing language and personal, through-composed forms. A former member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, he returns to Jazz at Lincoln Center with his ensemble for *Welcome to Georgia Town*, drawing on his long relationship with the institution and its repertory tradition. Gordon is also a multi-instrumentalist, heard at times on trumpet and didgeridoo alongside trombone. His performances favor ensemble balance and clear voicings over display.
