Dan Wilson Quartet

About:  

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.

His 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. Through DeFrancesco he met bassist, composer, and arranger Christian McBride, who produced Wilson’s “Vessels of Wood and Earth” and released the album on his newly formed imprint Brother Mister Productions. The album was released on April 23, 2021 and is available on all platforms.
