"Elm"-Dave Wilson, Adam Nussbaum, Jim Ridl, Tony Marino: Yorkfest, York, PA; 8/29/2009

The CD "Spiral" by the Dave Wilson Quartet (the group one sees in this video) was released officially on June 15th, courtesy of Summit Records, a nationally based label, located in Phoenix, Arizona. This features 6 original compositions in a contemporary mode including "Spiral", "Ocean Blue", "Movin' On", "Remembering", "Summer Breezes", and "Like GS 2"; plus unique arrangements of three contemporary pop classics including "Friend of the Devil" by the psychedelic jam band icons the Grateful Dead; "(You're the) Biggest Part of Me" by the L.A. 70's studio sensation Ambrosia; and "My Own Prison" by the Alt Christian superstar rock band Creed; topped off by a lyrical and moving take on Tonhino Horta's beautiful jazz waltz, "Francisca" and a soaring rendition of pianist Richie Bierach's epic "Elm". Recorded at the famed Red Rock Studios, Saylorsburg, PA, Kent Heckman engineering, Dave enlisted the help of Phil Markowitz on Piano, Tony Marino on Bass, and Adam Nussbaum on Drums, all internationally acclaimed and renowned. Asked why he chose these tunes to record Dave said, "These songs, including the original compositions and the "cover" tunes, are all, for various reasons, close to my heart. They are like personal statements of where I am at in my life, musically and otherwise. When I make and play music like this I am trying to communicate such heartfelt sentiments to the listener, whether they are in the club, the concert hall, or listening to the recording." Already, Spiral has received radio airplay from over 25 stations nationwide along with positive critical reviews. Watch for Dave's in-studio interview with DJ Jeff Duperon on WRTI-FM, Philadelphia's leading jazz station on Friday, July 23rd, beginning at 6:45. The momentum is growing daily!
