Anthony Wilson has confirmed for the show this Thursday, February 21, 2002 from 6 to 7 pm PT. Jazz 88 can be heard at 88.3 FM in San Diego and via webcast at http://KSDS-FM.org/Listening. Right on! More news will be posted on The Anthony Wilson Weblog at The New Jazz Thing! Here's what I told him why I was excited to have him on the show. "I had been introduced to your Dad's music when I just started really listening to Jazz in the late 80's, when I started at Jazz 88. It fit right into an affinity I found for big band / large ensemble recordings...Basie, Duke, Mingus, Gil Evans...soulful and swinging and reaching for something different. And when your first disk came out AND you were writing / arranging for big band, it was great to hear what you were doing with all of that and much more. So...I'm excited to think about rapping about some of this and where you're headed. And what folks will hear on Saturday. Among other things." Yep, I'm excited. 11:01:10 PM     MAMA Music Room - Samples (RealAudio) of MAMA artists, about five per disc but lots of discs. Anthony Wilson, Gerald, others. You have to click on each 1 minute sample, individually. A pain. I want a playlist to click on to play all the samples. Well maybe we'll make one and share it. Or someone else could help. I could do it if it was an MP3 (MPU file). RealPlayer playlist file format? This could be fun for having others build their own playlists of tunes available on the Inet and sharing it with others. 4:35:10 PM     The Anthony Wilson Weblog at The New Jazz Thing! Anthony Wilson Music: Compositions & Arrangements - Anthony's got his own publishing company, Goat Hill Music. Why wouldn't someone have a publishing company? Seems like everyone does now. Why didn't they before or did I just not notice it? What's Anthony's role in the publishing company, other than adding killer tunes and arrangements to the catalog? Who owns his recorded performances? Why? 3:56:40 PM     At least to start, posted here is what we are learning this week about Anthony Wilson in preparation for a potential interview on the Thursday Live Showon Jazz 88 (88.3 FM San Diego, webcast at http://KSDS-FM.org/Listening), February 21, 2002 from 6 to 9 pm PT. Anthony's Trio (w/B-3 organ and drums) is at The Atheneum Studio in San Diego on Saturday (2/23/2002, 8 pm), so we want to find out what sort of fun is going to be happening there. Now we just have ask Anthony if he's got some time to talk! We'll do that and find out some more about Anthony which will all talk about right here...so come back often! 2:42:57 PM     The Anthony Wilson Weblog at The New Jazz Thing! Anthony Wilson (http://AnthonyWilsonMusic.com), jazz guitarist / composer / arranger / band leader / heir to daddy Gerald's legend / building his own. Here's the news about what happening with Anthony, reported with soul by Vince Outlaw and The New Jazz Thing! 2:31:08 PM     MAMA Anthony Wilson Bio "I'm trying to let the songs create their own melodic world. I'm also trying to build interest into each player's part. If their part feels almost singable and not just a voice in a chord or a structure, they'll take more liberties to make it musical.I also love the folklore aspect of jazz. The oral tradition, what you learn by listening to what somebody tells you, a way of swinging - those things are interesting to me. When you break it down to the basic elements, there's a lot of possibility for growth." 1:39:03 PM
