WILSON AND STUART CHOOSE THE UNUSUAL PATH OF BARI SAX- GUITAR DUO. FROM THE GENTLE HUSH OF STUART'S

'WEDNESDAY'S CHILD TO WILSON'S DEEP GROOVE ON STUART'S 'BLUEPRINT* THIS RELEASE SHOWCASES TWO STRONG TALENTS

WHO ABLY TRANSCEND THE STATED LIMITATIONS OF SUCH AN INSTRUMENTAL DUET PAIRING.

WILLARD JENKINS. JAZZ TIMES

WILSON AND STUART'S BARITONE SAX AND GUITAR IMPROVISATIONS ARE STRONG AND CONFIDENT. BOTH PLAYERS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORT AND THE WAY THEY SET UP EACH OTHER FOR SOLOS IS ONE OF THE DISC'S STRENGTHS. IT IS ESPECIALLY UNIQUE TO HEAR WILSON'S BARITONE COMPING BEHIND STUART'S FLEET SINGLE -NOTE LINES. IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO FORGET THE INSTRUMENTATION, HOWEVER, AND SIMPLY BECOME IMMERSED IN THE MUSIC. CARL BAUGHER, CADENCE
