Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts: Wake Up! (To What's Happening)
by Eric J. Iannelli
Wake Up! (To What's Happening) is drummer Matt Wilson's first album after realizing, thanks to the unintentional example set by his children, that he'd been going about things all wrong. Well, not wrong, exactly--just differently. “The more I play improvised music," he writes in the closest thing to an explanatory preface, “the less I ...
Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts: Wake Up! (To What's Happening)
by Ken Franckling
"Arts & Crafts" is the perfect name for versatile drummer Matt Wilson's band for this session. For the music they make is indeed an art--and it involves much musical craft. And then there's the title of this, the band's second recording. A title like Wake Up! (To What's Happening) could lead one to guess that Wilson ...

Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts: Wake Up! (To What
by Mark Sabbatini

The Matt Wilson Quartet: Humidity
by Jack Bowers
The bane of any reviewer: clearly well-played music that scarcely moves him an inch. I’m sorry, but I simply haven’t the mental capacity, musical acumen or whatever it takes to appreciate Humidity, drummer Matt Wilson's fifth album for Palmetto Records, even though Wilson and his companions are first-class players who are giving it everything they have. ...
Matt Wilson Quartet: Humidity
by David A. Orthmann
An eclectic drummer, thinker, and bandleader, Matt Wilson shuns fixed stylistic boundaries. He’s endlessly curious and adventuresome, but invariably backs up imaginative leaps in conception and execution with solid musicianship and organizational skills. Humidity, Wilson’s fourth outing for Palmetto, finds his working quartet (plus violin, trumpet, and trombone on a few cuts) fully inhabiting every one ...
Matt Wilson: Beyond Category
by C. Andrew Hovan
