Matt Wilson at Dizzy's Club

With drummer Matt Wilson, cornet player Ron Miles, guitarist Dave Stryker, pianist Orrin Evans, and bassist Martin Wind 
Matt Wilson is a phenomenal drummer who has played with, and been praised by, a seemingly endless list of contemporary jazz greats. In addition to his instrumental skills, he receives constant praise as a bandleader and a creative force who experiments and pushes both sidemen and genre boundaries alike, while remaining widely accessible in every context. Funnily enough, the simple – albeit far too rare – element that elevates Wilson’s performances (and you’d be hard pressed to find a concert or record review that doesn’t mention this) is his obvious and unadulterated joy. Wilson’s sense of humor, tireless smile, and spirited energy acts as the catalyst to everyone onstage and off feeling good and having FUN. So whether you’re feeling great, feeling down, or anything in between, make sure you don’t miss out! This will be the second of three distinct Matt Wilson programs at Dizzy’s this week; night two features an eclectic new group called Matt Wilson’s Scrimmage, featuring Ron Miles, Dave Stryker, Orrin Evans, and Martin Wind. ...
