Performance

Welcome to Georgia Town

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Jazz at Lincoln Center, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon returns with his ensemble for *Welcome to Georgia Town*, a program shaped around his work as an arranger, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. The concert traces a Southern geography and its musical afterlives, using brass-band language, blues inflection, and big-band discipline as reference points rather than nostalgia. Gordon’s long association with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra gives the set an institutional NYC context, even as it points away from the city. The writing favors structure and ensemble clarity over solo display.
