Acclaimed trombone jazz extraordinaire Wycliffe Gordon wowed the audience in Lee Hall's Bettersworth Auditorium Tuesday night with a dynamic play list of jazz and swing tunes. Accompanied by the MSU/Starkville Symphony Big Band, Gordon also heightened holiday spirits with Christmas favorites. The annual Criss Christmas Concert is sponsored by two grants from the J.W. Criss Foundation and is a performance of the university's Lyceum Series.
