This Months Special Musical Guest: Dave Wilson Quartet (Contemporary Jazz)

The Dave Wilson Quartet is a Contemporary Jazz group led by the noted tenor/soprano saxophonist, educator, and composer to further and bring to fruition the music and vision of Dave Wilson, the artist. Defying categorization, the music is "what sounds good and can communicate with the audience on a deep level...it's jazz". Dave Wilson offers high caliber, compelling, contemporary live performances, featuring top notch nationally/internationally or regionally known personnel known for their exciting improvisations, creative individualistic compositions, and unique arrangements of standards.

Dave Wilson has seven recordings under his own name, (plus an eighth When Even Goes East on the way in January of 2026), all of which have received national airplay and positive reviews from leading jazz publications. Their fourth CD There Was Never (ZOHO Music, 2016), reached a high of #18 in the nationwide Jazz Weekly Jazz Radio Countdown, had a great review in Downbeat Magazine, and was placed in nomination for a Grammy in 2016. The fifth One Night at Chris’ was released in the summer of 2019, achieved “Chartbound” status (Top 50) on jazz radio, and garnered positive reviews. Our 6th recording, released 1/7/2022, titled Stretching Supreme (Dave Wilson Music)is a tribute to John Coltrane. It reached a high of #31 in the Jazz Weekly Live Radio charts, and garnered impressive reviews, among them.
