5.0 out of 5 stars
The Best Jazz Album of the Year!, January 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Adult Themes (Audio CD)
I am not exaggerating. Anthony Wilson (son of Gerald) is the best jazz composer/arranger to come on the scene in years. In Adult Themes, he has put together an absolutely gorgeous album, with top notch musicians (including Pete Christlieb), melodies and arrangements. While innovative in his own right, Wilson seems very influenced by Charles Mingus in his compositions and arrangements, and by Pat Metheny in his (very nuanced) guitar work. If you are a fan of those two giants, chances are that you will greatly enjoy this album. The five-part title piece alone is worth more than the price of admission.
