SVETLANA SHMULYIAN & THE DELANCEY FIVE

Take an exhilarating and "energetic" (Wall Street Journal) "dose of jazz vocals" (Time Out), add "shining" instrumentals (Wall Street Journal) and a dash of yesteryear, then mix in a whole lot of musical dexterity and charm - and you have one of New York’s most beloved swing bands, Svetlana & the Delancey Five, rippling through the city, "making hot jazz sound cool" (BlueMonkMoods).

WYCLIFFE GORDON (trombone / vocals)

Musical ambassador and interpreter of America's music, Wycliffe Gordon experiences an impressive career touring the world performing 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 solidified Gordon a place in musical history known as one of the top trombonists of his generation. The Critics seem to agree. Wycliffe was named "Best in Trombone" by the Downbeat Critics Poll three years running now (2014, 2013 & 2012) and Jazz Journalists Association named him "Trombonist of the Year" in 2013, as well as previous years 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012. He is a past recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Vanguard Award, among others.
