Wycliffe Gordon\u00a0 –\u00a0 Paul Hall\u00a0 –\u00a0 February 4, 2013<\/p>\n
Juilliard School’s jazz program has really hit the jackpot this year regarding its guest artists, mentors, artists-in-residence, whatever they call them.\u00a0 Gordon is the latest; here he collaborates with two distinct student jazz ensembles.\u00a0\u00a0 Besides being an all-around excellent entertainer (including as vocalist), he is also a swell composer, so they end up playing a bunch of his excellent stuff.\u00a0 He put in a lot of time on the trumpet, and also played a hybrid mini-trombone that had the sonic range of a trumpet.\u00a0 There was plenty of room for the students to shine, and they did.\u00a0\u00a0 I think there still something about the exits from Juilliard that I don’t yet “get”. \u00a0 I did not see the big man, nor obtain his autograph, despite waiting upstairs, where all of the students emerged, for about a half hour.\u00a0 Oh well.<\/p>\n
