Add Review/Comment

Matt Wilson is a dynamic and adventurous drummer and bandleader with tremendous versatility and a distinctive style. Wilson has recorded and toured extensively with his own quartet and the groundbreaking group Arts & Crafts, showcasing his eclectic musical tastes and inclusive vision. The Matt Wilson Quartet’s newest CD, That’s Gonna Leave a Mark, includes original compositions by Wilson and his bandmates, classics by great jazz composers, and creative covers of well-known songs from other genres. Wilson is also a sought-after sideman for artists who run the gamut form traditional jazz to avant-garde experimentation. His swinging energy has propelled groups led by Dewey Redman, Lee Konitz, Charlie Haden, Herbie Nichols, Dena DeRose, and dozens of others, and these artists’ styles and innovations have augmented Wilson’s personal sound and broadened his musical horizons. For his Stanford Jazz Festival performance, Wilson teams up with two sensational young players—guitarist Julian Lage and bassist Jorge Roeder—as well as saxophonist/clarinetist Douglas Yates, a Stanford Jazz Workshop alumnus and Wilson’s colleague from the seminal Either/Orchestra.

    Saw this show. Chris keeps moving on. Like Trane (though he may sound frequently more like Rollins, etc.), he keeps changing, keeps getting deeper into his own sound. Like Trane, he has countless imitators whom one chooses not to "out" because imitation is indeeed the sincerest form of flattery. Incredible concert. Three standing ovations. A rending of clothing. A cry of women in the night. Dreadful beauty. Was there anyone in the audience who was not a musician listening fror the next note to play? Collapse
