Here comes the TRUTH. 🎼🎹🎸🥁🎷🎺🎻🪘🪇🪈🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶 SO 🎵 BEAUTIFUL 🎶

THINK THE HEAVENLY FATHER FOR SUCH A GREAT MUSICIAN AS GERALD WILSON 🎼🎵🎶🎹🎸🥁🎷🎺🎻🪘🪇🪈🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶

First saw Gerald Wilson and his big band performing in the ballroom of the UCLA student union in spring of 1961 during Mardi Grau, an annual spring carnival in those days. It was a moment of truth.

BEAUTIFUL CAT GREALD. TEACHING THESE YOUNG DEDICATED MUSICIANS THE TRADE, PRAISE HIM FOR SUCH!!!!!! PERFECTION!!! THE OLDER GREALD GOT THE SHARPER HE REMAINED TIL THE END!!! HE LOVED CHARLES TOLLIVER (trumpeter) “ PAPER MAN”R.I.P.

Amazing. I grew up in LA

I was a true fan of Gerald Wilson also I would not miss buying every LP for my collection of jazz over many years as I really enjoyed his jazz Latin sounds and his uptempo sounds. His teachings to bands taught many new musicians and band leaders in sound even Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie was listen to his outstanding sounds that he produced to the human ear. He lead the whole industry in some of the first big band stereo sounds of a big band as well in recordings. He was the Father of Latin Jazz Music His sound will live with us as a high mark in music history.

Legendary....RIP Gerald Wilson.

What a, BLESSING 🎼🎵🎶🪇🪈🪘🎻🎺🎷🥁🎸🎹

What a magical moment in Jazz!! Thanks for the opportunity to see the legendary composer and arranger Gerald Wilson conduct his big band arrangements with the CCM Jazz Ensemble. It's just as if the music from my Gerald Wilson Orchestra LP's have come alive here at this live concert, which I had the good fortune to attend in Cincinnati Ohio.

Thank you, Scott. I saw GW at the Catalina some years back before he passed. Truly a music treasure as is this band. A kick-ass band playing kick-ass arrangements and I can't say anything more complimentary than that. Jazz lives!

thanks for sharing, i recently bought State Street Sweet, great album

And to think that was the environment guitarist Anthony Wilson grew up in....what a beginning!

What can one say? A superb arrangement and quality musicians. Great stuff. Thanks for this one.

wonderful

wow factor: gerald telling back stories of the tunes.

Classic!! The best that ever did it.

Legendary!

Great post. Great band & solos. University of Cincinnati CCM May 22, 2011

Thank you very much, Mr.Belck, for sharing this information. I've just listen to Mrs. Mary Ellen Tanner in Braun's Show. She was a really great singer.

I feel as though I've been to a banquet, and enjoyed everything on offer. Satiated and flush.

thanks, Scott!

Great Big Band and arrangements! I also like very much the female singer and the lady playing the violin. What are their names?

@@phyllishinton9377 Oh wow that's all so interesting, thanks for writing. And how amazing that you actually talked to Gerald Wilson on the phone. I've enjoyed his music for years too. I got to know more about such musicians when I moved to the USA in 1999 and started listening to the local jazz station here in LA. Well, I could chat away, haha, but anyway...fun to read your message, thanks !

GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
