Title: Our Gang Artist: Anthony Wilson Trio Label: Groove Note Records Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 660318100818 Genre: Jazz Release Date: 2024-07-26 Number of Discs: 2 Additional Details: 180 GRAM VINYL
(2-LP Set) 45RPM 180 GRAM. Wilson's Our Gang is the culmination of his more recent ideas, in both originals and standards, and this album includes some stunning performances of standards like Chitlins Con Carne (By Kenny Burrell), I Want You - She's So Heavy (from Abbey Road), and Prelude To A Kiss (Strayhorn). The album also contains further evidence of Anthony Wilson's skill and talent as a composer as demonstrated by original compositions like Our Gang and Britta's Blues. The sterling back-up by Ferber and Bagg also deserves special mention with organist Bagg in particular exchanging great solos on the Hammond B-3 with Wilson. Recorded by the A-list team of producer Joe Harley (ECM, Enja) and Mike Ross (engineer) at Cello Studios in Hollywood, this remarkable session serves not only to cement the much vaunted reputation established with the Mama albums but in fact greatly extends Wilson's high profile position as one jazz's finest talents.
