Event

Steve Wilson George Cables and Ira Coleman Trio
Old friendships, new dynamics:  Steve Wilson, George Cables, & Ira Coleman come together for the first time to present  an evening of elegant chamber jazz at The College of Saint Rose.  
They each met separately in the late 80s, but never had the opportunity to perform together.

We do have a common language rooted in the tradition of bebop and what comes after, thats the kind of vocabulary. We havent played together as a unit, but there is a certain repertoire, a certain amount of tunes that we have played with other people, which we can recall at any time, -Ira Coleman



This concert is presented in conjunction with the College of Saint Rose Artist Management Class.

Steve Wilson has attained ubiquitous status in the studio and on the stage with the greatest names in jazz, as well as critical acclaim as a bandleader in his own right. A musician's musician, Wilson has brought his distinctive sound to more than 150 recordings led by such celebrated and wide-ranging artists as Chick Corea, George Duke, Michael Brecker, Dave Holland, Dianne Reeves, Bill Bruford, Gerald Wilson, Maria Schneider, Joe Henderson, Charlie Byrd, Billy Childs, Karrin Allyson, Don Byron, and Mulgrew Miller among many others. He has eight recordings as a leader.

Starting his formal training on saxophone in his native Hampton, Virginia, Wilson also played oboe and drums in school bands while performing in various R&B/funk bands throughout his teens. After a year-long stint with singer Stephanie Mills he majored in music at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, where he performed and/or studied with Jimmy and Percy Heath, Jon Hendricks, Jaki Byard, John Hicks, Frank Foster and Ellis Marsalis. During those years he was also in constant demand for recording studio work, and as backing musician for touring shows such as The Four Tops and Sophisticated Ladies. Landing a chair with O.T.B (Out of the Blue), a sextet of promising young players recording on Blue Note Records, Wilson moved to New York in 1987 and the following year toured the U.S. and Europe with Lionel Hampton.

Becoming a first-call choice for veteran and emerging artists alike, Wilson was the subject of a New York Times profile "A Sideman's Life", highlighting his work with Ralph Peterson, Jr., Michele Rosewoman, Renee Rosnes, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Joanne Brackeen, The American Jazz Orchestra, The Mingus Big Band, The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and Buster Williams' Quintet "Something More". In 1996 he joined the acclaimed Dave Holland Quintet, and from 1998-2001 he was a member of Chick Corea's Grammy winning sextet "Origin". Wilson documented his first four recordings as a leader on the Criss Cross label  New York Summit, Step Lively, Blues for Marcus and Four For Time. He then recorded two projects for Chick Corea's Stretch Records label  Generations, and Passages. In 2003 Wilson's recording Soulful Song was released on MAX JAZZ launching the label's Horn Series.
