Most recently, Jazz Journalists Association named him 2022 Trombonist of the Year for the unprecedented 15th time, and he has won the Downbeat Critics Poll Award for "Best Trombone" six times (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020)!!

"Gordon has total mastery of the trombone and trumpet...It was a display of a level of excellence which few have achieved," raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
"Wycliffe Gordon's trombone playing is nothing short of mesmerizing, blending soulful expressiveness with technical prowess in a way that is truly awe-inspiring," raves the NEW YORK TIMES. "Wycliffe Gordon, a longtime member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and one of today's leading interpreters of the music of Louis Armstrong..." says JAZZIZ MAGAZINE. "Gordon's vocal impression of [Louis] Armstrong is a dead ringer...he nails the legendary singing trumpeter's signature rasp, inflection, accent and tendency to scat," states DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE.

Wycliffe Gordon Biography
Wycliffe Gordon (born 1967 in Waynesboro, Georgia) is a jazz trombonist. He also plays the didgeridoo. In 1993 he wrote the theme song for National Public Radio[1]
Wycliffe Gordon came from a strongly religious background, his father was a church organist, that influenced the early direction of his music. He became interested in jazz at thirteen due to an Aunt's collection. His interest at that time was mostly the earlier musicians like Louis Armstrong[2] His early works as a professional was with Wynton Marsalis, but in recent years he has expanded beyond swing (genre) and has experimented with new instruments. The strongest example of this might be The Search where he plays didgeridoo and does Thelonious Monk songs.[3] He has also done some Gospel.
