Wycliffe Gordon (born 1967 in Waynesboro, Georgia) is a jazz trombonist.He also plays the didgeridoo, the trumpet, the tuba, and also sings.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 early works as a professional were 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.Wycliffe Gordon: Head To Head (Arbors Records)
