Featuring the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All Star Band
and New York Voices, Nancy Wilson Trio, Monty Alexander, Duduka Da Fonseca,
Herbie Mann
The legendary singer and entertainer, Nancy Wilson, decided to make her
contribution to the Christmas season with an album. Deservingly, she chose
some of the best musicians on the planet to accompany her, therefore the
music is flawless as you would expect. As a seasoned musician, Ms. Wilson
delivery creates the proper mood for each tune; fun when it should be and
solemnly thoughtful when necessary. The word DIVA is banded about often,
but to Ms. Wilson, it applies.
I am also impress with the label she chose, Manchester Craftmen's Guild
Jazz. This is a program that contributes greatly to the continued formation
of my favorite art form, Jazz. Add this one to your collection for all of
the proceeds from the sales will benefit the MCG Jazz program.
