Gerald Wilson, jazz's reigning composer/orchestrator pays homage to his adopted hometown, Chicago on his fifth Mack Avenue Records release, Legacy. Composers Igor Stravinsky and Giacomo Puccini also receive Wilson's musical tips of the hat. Wilson's son, guitarist/composer Anthony Wilson, and grandson Eric Otis are also represented by a composition/orchestration apiece, thus extending Gerald's musical legacy.

No Anthony - what makes Gerald Wilson unique is that piano / flute sound, the enormous dynamic range, and the orchestral conception/space you can hear being generated on the records. The Gerald Wilson sound is unmistakable. Helped by great band members/soloists of course. Then there's that Spanish input. And the incredible energy.
