Dave Wilson Celebrates New CD at Chris's Jazz Cafe, Philadelphia, October 26

Dave Wilson, a highly respected and well-versed saxophonist and educator from the Lancaster, PA area is proud to announce the release of his new CD, My Time, on Dreambox Media. Wilson's new release is an authentic jazz quartet setting with an organic and pure jazz burn. My Time features a mix of classic jazz standards with original arrangements and five Wilson originals. Wilson's ability to create vivid harmonic color and rich textures is a key ingredient in this recipe. Matt Hochmiller (piano), Steve Meashey (acoustic bass) and Tony Deangelis (drums) back Wilson. The quartet creates solid interaction and expressive lines within their brand of communication. Join Wilson on Thursday, October 26, 2006 for a night of explosive jazz at Chris's Jazz Cafe in Philadelphia.

Highlights of latest reviews:

“Wilson's burly tenor makes a strong statement, as he surges with fluid ease and a swinging appearance. His musical statements emerge as personal pages of conversation that interact with his musical partners intuitively. From calypso to swing and balladry, the quartet comes up with a winner. The best part of the album comes at the end, with a second take of “Summertime" that runs for 12 minutes. Wilson shows his individuality with a fired-up rampage that captures the sincere emotion originally intend-ed for this piece by its composer. Wilson's quartet opens up, stretches out, and releases the passion that we look for in this Jazz standard. His session comes recommended for its appropriate balance of tradition with the modern mainstream"--Jim Santella

“A post-Coltrane soprano and tenor saxophonist with a penchant for melody ... as well as the ability to turn the heat a notch up on the up-tempo tracks"--Michael P. Gladstone
