I will never forget the first time I heard music coming out of Wycliffe Gordon's trombone. I was a high school kid and I stood there in stunned silence. He has had that effect on me a number of times since then too.
Phrases that are a mile long. Technical facility that seems limitless. Style for days. He is a beast.
Enjoy!
Wycliffe is one of my heroes. This five minute live clip off of someone's phone is a masterclass on style, phrasing, style, high playing, style and just about everything else. Did I mention the style this guy plays every single note and phrase with? He is a musician who happens to play the trombone. And he happens to play it better than most. Bebop, swing, gospel, dixieland. I have yet to hear him play in a style that doesn't sound just as convincing as the last.
What a gift it is for all of us to be alive at the same time this guy is making music. I've got to go practice now.
Enjoy!
