Timeline
His father, Lucius Gordon (1936–1997), was a church organist at several churches in Burke County, Georgia, and a classical pianist and teacher.
Wycliffe A. Gordon (born May 29, 1967) is an American jazz trombonist, arranger, composer, band leader, and music educator at the collegiate-conservatory level.
Gordon also sings and plays didgeridoo, trumpet, soprano trombone, tuba, and piano.
His nickname is "Pinecone".
Gordon was born in Waynesboro, Georgia, into a religious and musical background that influenced the early direction of his music.
Gordon's arrangement and orchestration is the third version of the melody composed in 1971 by Donald Joseph Voegeli (1920–2009).
Gordon took an interest in jazz in 1980 when he was thirteen, while listening to jazz records inherited from his great-aunt.
The collection included a five-LP anthology produced by Sony-Columbia.
In particular, he was drawn to musicians like Louis Armstrong and the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens
At age 13, he was attending Sego Junior High School in Augusta, Georgia, where his band director was trombonist Don Milford.
Gordon graduated in 1984 from Butler High School in Augusta.
He performed in New York City as part of the McDonald's High School All-American Band.
He then studied music at Florida A&M, where he played in the marching band.
In 1995, Gordon arranged and orchestrated the theme song for NPR's All Things Considered.
On September 24, 2004, Gordon conducted the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in the premiere of his new, original score for "Body and Soul", the 1925 silent film directed by Oscar Micheaux.
Blues Back Records was an American independent jazz label founded by Gordon in 2006, coinciding with the release of his album Rhythm on My Mind, a collaboration with bassist Jay Leonhart.
His desire for artistic control was the impetus for creating Blues Back.
During a meeting with Leonhart, with Gordon's "I Want My Blues Back" playing in the background, the two laughed and decided on the name for the company.
Blues Back produced other artists who met Gordon's criteria for originality.
His early works as a professional were with Wynton Marsalis, but in 2010 he has expanded beyond swing and has experimented with new instruments.
The strongest example of this might be The Search where he plays didgeridoo and covers Thelonious Monk songs.
He has also played Gospel music.
The company became inactive in 2011.
Gordon has been married three times and has five children.
He has recently gained more worldwide popularity, being featured in South Australia's Generations In Jazz 2016 and 2017, playing alongside artists such as James Morrison, Jazzmeia Horn, Gordon Goodwin and Ross Irwin among others.
For over a decade, he has also worked with visual artist and educator Ligel Lambert on numerous collaborative projects.
