The Anthony Wilson Trio - Our Gang (2001) [DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC]

Anthony Wilson, the talented Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist and key player in the Diana Krall Quartet covers classics such as Kenny Burrell's "Chitlins Con Carne" as well as some original compositions ("Road Trip") through to an unforgettable instrumental cover version of The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" from "Abbey Road" as well as superb performances of "Prelude To A Kiss" (Billy Stayhorn). The Anthony Wilson Trio recorded this magnificent jazz guitar session featuring guitar, Hammond B-3 organ and drums.

Most of Anthony Wilson's recordings to date tend to put the focus on his writing, so this workout by the guitarist in a trio is a welcome change of pace. Wilson has a melodic and boppish style with an attractive tone. He interacts with two fellow citizens of Los Angeles: organist Joe Bagg and drummer Mark Feber. Wilson contributes three originals and also plays songs by Bagg, Kenny Burrell, the Beatles, Frank Loesser, and Duke Ellington ("Prelude to a Kiss"). Overall this is a fine straight-ahead jazz date by an underrated but talented guitarist.
