Wilson Gillette - "The Girl From Ipanema"

WIlson Gillette, awesome pedal steel player from Arizona does his rendition of "The Girl From Ipanema".
"You are by far one of the most creative and talented musicians I've ever had the good fortune to work with, in and out of the studio. Your writing, arranging talents, pedal steel guitar work and backing vocals were so important to the making of my debut CD, that I can't imagine working in the studio or doing a show without you. It's great to be friends with one of the hottest players in Phoenix. You're the only guy I know that plays pedal steel with your bare feet. You are the jazz master."
Danny Roberts 2009 "Member BMI"

Hi Adair,

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and Wilson's playing. I'm not sure if you noticed, but everyone in the video IS Wilson (part of the joke and his idea!). I also personally know of musicians here in Phoenix who are Hispanic and play the bossa nova.

Thanks again, and I invite you to check out Wilson's other video on YouTube, "Blues at the Factory".

Best Regards,

Bill Slater, editor

Yes, I noticed that the 4 are the great Wilson ....

By the way, I have a great friend in Phoenix .. Matt Prouty, We use to trade some licks over the Internet.

Why Mexican clothes to play Bossa Nova ..?

It was Wilson's idea - I think he may have wanted to wear his tux, too!
