5.0 out of 5 stars
Big, Swinging, Modern,
By NY2VA (Shenandoah Valley) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In My Time (Audio CD)
Gerald Wilson is the living history of big band jazz. From his start in the 30's with Jimmy Lunceford to this album, where he leads young players like Sean Young and Russell Malone along with older pros like Jon Faddis and many others, Mr. Wilson has been making serious contributions to the music for 70 years. Here he is composer of most of the pieces, and arranger-conductor of the whole presentation. Gerald Wilson is one creative, swinging, and together 87 year old man.The centerpiece - a 3 movement piece called "The Diminished Triangle" - is the result of an NEA commission, which is the best thing I can think of to say about the NEA. It is a very enjoyable and memorable piece of work. There is no weak track here, and the Gerald Wilson Orchestra's rendition of Miles Davis' "So What" is a particular treat.

A masterpiece still going strong!!!,

This review is from: In My Time (Audio CD)
While many folks his age are basking in retirement, Gerald Wilson continues to create exciting big band jazz, as evidenced in this fantastic CD.It didn't matter if I heard a small taste of all the tracks, but the opening "Sax Chase" (a no-holds barred piece lasting just over 10 minutes) made the decision to purchase easier. Other standout pieces include the suite "Diminished Triangle," "Love for Sale," "So What," and so on. Gerald, keep swinging. It is a gross injustice that this fine effort of yours did not get nominated for a Grammy!!!

Oustanding,
By sam (midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In My Time (Audio CD)
This is a wonderful CD. Start with an A-team rhythm section: Renee Rosnes, Lewis Nash, Russell Malone (who also gets in some great solo work), and Peter Washington. Next add hall of fame arranger Gerald Wilson. And include solo work from an A-list of NYC talent. This is a can't miss project, and it doesn't miss. It easily ranks with Wilson's outstanding work in the 60s for Pacific Jazz (available on Mosaic Records).Very well-recorded too, as a bonus.
