Goat Hill Junket – Anthony Wilson

On his second album, Anthony Wilson takes another giant step toward carving a niche for himself among the masters of jazz. Recorded in New York city, Wilson’s nine-piece band and featured guest Bennie Wallace jam on Wilson originals as well as his inimitable arrangements of four jazz standards: Here’s That Rainy Day, It Has Happened To Me, Flossie Lou and Stairway to the Stars. Downbeat magazine hails: This is classic jazz – not a retro statement, but swing-propelled music that stands on its own elegant and relaxed beauty.
