This program is near and dear to Wycliffe Gordon's heart.

Louis Armstrong is one of his biggest musical influences, and this show features music that was regularly performed by him. The show includes many of the songs that Armstrong made famous, such as “When You're Smiling,” “Hello Dolly,” and “What A Wonderful World,” along with several of Wycliffe's originals, including “I Give You Love,” which expresses his musical sentiment. Other hits featured in the show include “Black and Blue,” “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” “Ow,” and “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In.” In this show, Wycliffe sings and plays several instruments, including trombone, soprano trombone, and trumpet.

The core trio features Lamar Morgan on drums, Nery Kim on piano, and Travis Shaw on bass, though they frequently collaborate with a diverse range of local artists and vocalists. Known for their professional, vibrant energy and engaging performances, L4 Jazz has quickly become a staple at various Augusta venues, including The Partridge Inn, Metro Coffeehouse and Pub, and Savannah River Brewery, offering an "unmatched" vibe that appeals to both seasoned jazz lovers and newcomers.

L4 will be joined by Mark Rapp, a nationally recognized trumpeter, composer, and educator based in Columbia, SC, renowned for founding the Cola Jazz Foundation, a nonprofit that revitalized the local jazz scene through festivals, educational programs (like summer jazz camps), and artist advocacy, earning him the title of South Carolina’s Jazz Ambassador and a "Jazz Hero" award for his transformative work in building a vibrant jazz ecosystem from the ground up
