DREAMS OF NEW ORLEANS

Chesky Records     2012

Notes:  A world-class trombonist-composer and longstanding member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, under the direction of Jazz Maestro Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon has cut a wide stylistic swath on his 20 albums to date.  From Gospel and Southern Blues to J.J. Johnson-inspired hard bop, along with faithful interpretations of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk classics.  He was recognized by the Jazz Journalist Association as Trombonist of the year for 2012, his seventh time winning that accolade.
