This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Most of Anthony Wilson's recordings to date tend to put the focus on his writing, so this workout by the guitarist in a trio is a welcome change of pace. Wilson has a melodic and boppish style with an attractive tone. He interacts with two fellow citizens of Los Angeles: organist Joe Bagg and drummer Mark Feber. Wilson contributes three originals and also plays songs by Bagg, Kenny Burrell, the Beatles, Frank Loesser, and Duke Ellington ("Prelude to a Kiss"). Overall this is a fine straight-ahead jazz date by an underrated but talented guitarist. ~ Scott Yanow
Wilson presents a straight-ahead guitar trio album with Hammond B-3 organ & drums. The program ranges from a bluesy, groovin' style on the track "Chitlins Con Carne," to quiet ballads ("Prelude To A Kiss"), to a great cover of the Beatles' "I Want You (S

Photographer: Rob Shanahan.CMJ (7/2/01, p.47) - "...Reveals another side of the young guitarist....Every guitarist seems to have a B3 record in them, and Wilson's is certainly not an embarrassment..." Down Beat (8/01, pp.83-4) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A surprising, even startling recording...Wilson steps out as a player....placing him in the major ranks of jazz guitarists....tantalizing." JazzTimes (3/02, p.92) - "...There's no question that Wilson is a fine, exceptionally fluid player who knows how to build a solo, witnessed by this disc's diverse, sometimes sophisticated material..."

ANTHONY WILSON was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance.
This was a very impressive debut by guitarist Anthony Wilson, the son of veteran bandleader Gerald Wilson. Anthony, who had won the Thelonious Monk competition for best composition ("Karaoke," which is included on this set), is a fine bop-based guitarist who is a particularly inventive composer/arranger. Seven of the ten selections on this disc are his, as are all of the arrangements other than Lucky Thompson's "The Parisian Knights," which was transcribed by Wilson from the original record. ...
| | Anthony Wilson Goat Hill Junket CD (1998)
Our Gang CD music
$13.15 Goat Hill Junket recalls Anthony Wilson to the forefront of his nonet playing five new originals and three arrangements with memorable melodies and great ensemble textures. Wilson and his ensemble swing with the dynamics of older styles of jazz on songs that create their own melodic world. His resonant guitar leads on an innovative arrangement of "Here's That Rainy Day" and further compliments the standard with an impeccable array of younger and seasoned talent. With Jeff Ballard on drums, Jerry Dodgion on alto and Ted Nash on tenor, listeners are treated to Wilson's intense relationship with music as a composer, arranger and guitarist. Great horns and cool charts add attitude to Goat Hill Junket and ...

| | Katatonia Great Cold Distance CD (2006)
Our Gang songs
$18.05 Coming three full years after 2003's Viva Emptiness, The Great Cold Distance continues the trend toward the mainstream that Katatonia began with that album. Singer Jonas Renske -- who apparently lost his ability to do the now-clichéd Cookie Monster vocals some years ago due to medical problems -- has refined his voice into a much smoother and, surprisingly, more powerful instrument that's capable of greater emotional shadings. Similarly, this album forsakes the blastbeats and hyperspeed riffing for a more dynamic sound that makes smart use of slow and quiet passages. They're still heavy: "Deliberation" and "Leaders" are as brutal ...
