Audio Mixer: Franz Pusch. Liner Note Author: Harvey Siders. Recording information: Clinton Recording Studios, New York, NY (02/2003). Arranger: Gerald Wilson. This star-studded party led by long-revered Gerald Wilson reads like a roll call of jazz history past and present. Something of a great-grandfather to the tradition, Wilson has worked as a composer, arranger, and trumpeter for the likes of Jimmie Lunceford, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Nancy Wilson, and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few. Here Wilson is joined by old friends and luminaries such as trumpeter Clark Terry, saxophonist Jimmy Heath, and pianist Kenny Barron. NEW YORK, NEW SOUND gets off to a blistering start with a version of Miles Davis's "Milestones" that's as relentless and acrobatic as the original. The spectral, repetitious figures of John Coltrane's "Equinox" do not lose their intimate intensity in this large ensemble setting, instead they are enhanced, and solos from pianist Renee Rosnes and trombonist Benny Powell are true to the exploratory nature of the piece. The rest of the compositions are Wilson's, two of which--"Viva Tirado" and "M Capetillo"--are in a decidedly Latin mode. The impressionistic "Teri" features gorgeous guitar by Anthony Wilson, and the three-part suite "Theme from Monterey" showcases the composer's penchant for Ellington-inspired orchestral work. The old-school elegance and expertise found in Wilson's writing and arrangements, and the energy and adventurousness of the players, make this a very fine record.
