Alon Marcus Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 Recently I heard on a radio few tracks by Anthony Wilson's nonet (think it was a nonet, certainly not full big band but still relatively large). One of the tracks was called "southern gentleman" and Bennie Wallace was playing the tenor solo there. Truly impressed by the young Wilson's arranging skills, playing and band leading I'll be glad to hear your opinions about him and recommendations on his albums. Quote
relyles Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 I have four Anthony Wilson recordings and enjoy them all. The first three, Anthony Wilson, Goat Hill Junket and Adult Themes are large group recordings that focus on Wilson's composing and arranging. The last one, Our Gang is a very impressive organ trio recording that shows how capable a guitarist Wilson is. Quote
Sundog Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 Don't forget Diana Krall Live In Paris. Anthony is quite good on this album. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 The organ trio record is real nice. I have Goat Hill Junket as well. With a father like Gerald Wilson, how can you go wrong? Quote
DIS Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 If you haven't heard his fatther's (Gerald Wilson's) latest big band album, you should. I refer to New York: New Sound (2003). Anthony solos frequently and really makes the band perk. Quote
Alon Marcus Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Posted September 4, 2004 thanks a lot for the recommendations. I'm only begining to study his father work but also enjoy it very much. Quote
Alon Marcus Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Posted September 4, 2004 relyles, it seems that your avatar and the picture of Anthony Wilson I found were painted in a similar manner, maybe by the same man/woman. B-) Quote
B. Goren. Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 I'm only begining to study his father work but also enjoy it very much. If you enjoy the father's work, this set is for you: The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings of Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra. Quote
7/4 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Time for a set up! With that kind of back bow in the neck, it must buzz like crazy! Quote

B-) Maybe similar, but not by the same artist. The picture of "The Bassist" that I use for my avatar was painted by Ernie Barnes. I am fairly familiar with his work and know that the picture you posted is not one of his. Edited September 4, 2004 by relyles Quote

Did you see how large his fingers are ? He is catching the whole neck with no problems. His wife/girlfriend should be a happy woman Quote

Justice must be done, the name of the painter is Will Enns you can find his pictures here you can find his pictures here not very simmilar to Dizzy and Ella but still colorful and entartaining. Quote

sheldonm Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I just saw Anthony two days ago with Benny Wallace. They did a tribute to Coleman Hawkins at the Chicago Jazz Fest on Saturday. Very nice show!! I'll post a photograph of two in a couple days! Mark Quote

Very nice show!! I'll post a photograph of two in a couple days! Mark Please do! I heard a Wallace show in I think '99, with Wilson instead of some announced piano player. Very very nice! ubu Quote
