C Jam Blues

 

 

This is a performance of C Jam Blues by Wycliffe Gordon.  I was completely unfamiliar about soprano trombones until now. Gordon seems to have mastered them. I really like the brassy edge – It’s a very unique sound, especially with the split tones/raspy tonality he plays the instrument with. Tons of energy in his solo.  Also noticed a piano lick from classical music in the pianists solo at 4:53, which I found playful. The piano and sax solos sound so light in comparison to the trombone. Gordon’s hilarious with the call and response with the audience later on the video too. The band was definitely all about entertaining the crowd and playing around, a group of seasoned performers for sure.
