Dr. Wycliffe Gordon (H. ‘06), trombone and voice, & Eric Reed, piano will perform for Family Weekend, accompanied by the University of Scranton Concert Choir. Gordon and Reed are both legends, internationally celebrated performers, composers, and educators, and have a long history with Scranton. Dr. Gordon has performed, composed, conducted, and served as an artist-teacher at the university regularly since 1996, and served as commencement speaker in 2006. Both Gordon and Reed have performed with the most highly respected instrumentalists and singers in the world across a wide variety of genres including jazz, gospel, classical, and country music. With a combined discography of thousands of recordings as soloists, leaders, and/or sidemen; hundreds of compositions; and whether playing for small children or heads of state, these musicians pass on the legacy of the great jazz tradition of our nation constantly and joyfully. The University of Scranton Concert Choir is an SATB mixed choir comprised of members of the university community from majors and departments spanning the curriculum, none of whom are music majors, who are brought together by their mutual love of music-making.
