Ted Nash: The Mancini Project
by Douglas Payne
While Henry Mancini (1924-1994) borrowed plenty from jazz, he returned in kind by contributing a large body of fine, memorable music worthy of the melodic jazz tradition. Much of Mancini's best film music--particularly those scores from the early 1960s--sprang from the “cool jazz" of the 1950s West Coast Scene and featured some of the era's best ...

Matt Wilson's Arts And Crafts: The Scenic Route
by AAJ Italy Staff
Jazz piacevole e godibile, ma discontinuo negli esiti e con qualche caduta di gusto. Si potrebbe sintetizzare così la più recente produzione discografica del pur eccellente batterista Matt Wilson: solista notevole ma arrangiatore non molto fantasioso. Alti ma anche bassi in questo percorso, a tratti ben congegnato dal leader con piglio sicuro e la disinvoltura da ...
Matt Wilson's Arts and Crafts: The Scenic Route
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Whenever he plays, drummer Matt Wilson exudes an infectious enthusiasm that affects audience and musicians alike. It is one of the qualities--along with his sheer musicality and the technical facility to play inside and outside--that has attracted a range of bandleaders to Wilson.

Matt Wilson's Arts and Crafts: The Scenic Route
by Stephen Wood
It's early summer, the sky is clear and warm, and you're half-reclined behind the wheel of a white, American-made convertible, cruising smoothly down the highway. Suddenly you notice that you've drifted off onto the wrong exit ramp. In order to right your blunder, you have to navigate a service road littered with zany, brightly colored bric-a-brac. ...

Matt Wilson
by Peter Madsen
If you combined Groucho Marx with Marco Polo, Gomer Pyle and Albert Einstein and gave them a drum set they would probably play exactly like the funny, explorative, country-boy genius Matt Wilson. I first met Matt a couple of years after he had arrived here in the big apple back in 1992. It was ...
