Wycliffe Gordon Quintet

United Soul Experience

Available: September 28, 2002

Trombonist Wycliffe Gordon encounters here four individualistic improvisers whom he had never met until a day-before-the-session rehearsal.

Joined by now-a-days jazz greats, tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake, pianist David Kikoski, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart, the group transcends differences in sensibility, background and custom to create music that bespeaks the cohesion and empathy you'd expect to hear from a unit of long-standing.
