Info zu Vessels of Wood and Earth

Auf Vessels of Wood and Earth, dem Debütalbum des Gitarristen / Komponisten Dan Wilson für das Brother Mister Label des legendären Bassisten / Komponisten Christian McBride (und die zweite Veröffentlichung des Labels), legt der junge Musiker einen so starken Groove an den Tag, dass er die Musik selbst bei seinen Soli unwiderstehlich vorantreibt.

Dan platzte ins nationale Rampenlicht, als Joey DeFrancesco, einer der größten Jazz-Organisten aller Zeiten, ihn zu einem begehrten Platz in seinem Trio einlud. Dan ging daraufhin mit McBrides Trio Tip City auf Tournee, und bei Vessels of Wood and Earth konnte Dan McBride als Produzent erleben.

Dan Wilson
Growing up in Akron, Ohio, Dan Wilson spent the majority of his youth within the church community, where his musical path began.

Traces of his major guitar influences – including Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, Joe Pass, and George Benson to name a few – can be discerned through his playing, but his musical identity has been shaped by everything from gospel and blues to traditional jazz, hip-hop and horn players like Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson.

After graduating from Hiram College, Wilson made his recording debut with pianist Joe McBride and performed to worldwide acclaim with Joey DeFrancesco and Christian McBride’s Tip City, eventually recording his debut as a leader To Whom It May Concern.

Wilson has had the honor of sharing the stage with jazz greats including Eric Marienthal, Russell Malone, Les McCann, René Marie, Jeff Hamilton, David Sanborn and Dave Stryker. He also teaches jazz guitar and music theory through private lessons. ​

Wilson’s career took him on an exploratory journey into foundations laid down by the guitar/organ tradition, eventually leading to an invitation to perform with jazz great Joey DeFrancesco’s trio quartet, with which Wilson went on to earn a GRAMMY® Award nomination with for DeFrancesco’s Project Freedom album (Mack Avenue Records, 2017).

This collaboration allowed the guitarist to insert his own dialect into the musical prowess and respect that DeFrancesco had earned throughout his journey.

Wilson had been playing with DeFrancesco for a few years when he met bassist, composer, arranger, Christian McBride. From there, Wilson went on to tour with McBride’s trio Tip City, eventually leading McBride to serve as producer on "Vessels of Wood and Earth" and release the album on his newly formed imprint Brother Mister Productions through Mack Avenue Music Group.
