The Gerald Wilson Orchestra 'in the studio' recording 'Before Motown' from the new CD DETROIT

Detroit is Mr. Gerald Wilson's fourth release on Mack Avenue Records, and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed Monterey Moods.

Featuring: trumpeters Jon Faddis, Bobby Rodriguez and Jimmy Owens; trombonists Dennis Wilson, Luis Bonilla and Doug Purviance; saxophonists Steve Wilson, Kamasi Washington, Antonio Hart, Jackie Kelso and Ronnie Cuber; pianists Brian ORourke and Renee Rosnes; bassists Trey Henry, Peter Washington and Todd Coolman; drummers Mel Lee and Lewis Nash.

I met Gerald about 15 years ago when he was playing at a club in Encino, California. I took my album of his and had him sign it. What a precious moment. What a musician! ellie
