Eight Time “Trombonist of the Year” and
Top Trombonist of his Generation
Wycliffe Gordon
Musical ambassador and interpreter of America’s music, Wycliffe Gordon performs hard-swinging, straight-ahead jazz, receiving great acclaim from audiences and critics alike. His unmatched modern mastery of the plunger mute and his exceptional technique and signature sound has earned Gordon a place in musical history known as one of the top trombonists of his generation. Gordon was named “Best in Trombone” by the Downbeat Critics Poll three years running and the Jazz Journalists Association named him “Trombonist of the Year” eight times.
GRAMMY-winning, Cuban-born drummer, composer, educator, and 2011 MacArthur Genius Fellow Dafnis Prieto conducts the renowned Frost Concert Jazz Band, known for its outstanding musicianship, inspired performances, soloists, and well-crafted original arrangements. This large jazz ensemble has won countless Downbeat Student Music Awards throughout its history, including “Outstanding Performance” and “Best Graduate Large Ensemble”. The band has numerous tours, recordings and prestigious collaborations to its credit.
JazzAid Live at the Banyan Bowl is an eight concert jazz series streamed live from the Pinecrest Gardens' Banyan Bowl Amphitheater. In an effort to both save the famed series this year and help feed families across the nation, the Village of Pinecrest will make this iconic jazz series available to anyone with internet access.
A generous portion of the proceeds from JazzAid Live will go directly to World Central Kitchen founded by acclaimed international Chef José Andrés to help to feed families affected by the pandemic.
Tickets are $15 per show, or you can purchase the full subscription series for a reduced package rate of $100 for all eight shows. Concerts will air only once at 8:00 p.m. ET the day of the concert on any internet based device including some smart TVs, computer monitors, tablets and smartphones.
