NEA Jazz Master Gerald Wilson's Latest Release "Legacy" on Mack Avenue Records
Gerald Wilson has probably seen, heard and done it all many times over. He began his long and fruitful career back in 1938 as a trumpeter and arranger for the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra. Amazingly, he also played and arranged music for a "who's who" of the big band era: Benny Carter, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie.
Over a career that spans 70+ years, he has lead his own bands and continues to be a prolific composer, arranger and educator.
On 21 June 2011, Mr. Wilson released his fifth album on Mack Avenue Records entitled Legacy.
