Liner Note Authors: Gerald Wilson; Richard Seidel. Recording information: Pacific Jazz Studios, Los Angeles, CA (09/09/1961-01/21/1966). Arranger: Gerald Wilson. On this Gerald Wilson ARTIST SELECTS compilation, Wilson himself picks a range of material from his tenure at Pacific Jazz between 1961 and 1966. As an arranger and leader Wilson was quite adventurous, as the performances by his big band prove. Whether on interpretations of contemporary classics ("'Round Midnight"), or on his own material ("Paco"), Wilson's charts are driving and rhythmic, yet also textured and complex. Fine musicianship (Wilson had a parade of talent pass through his bands) pushes the quality even higher on this thoroughly enjoyable introduction to Wilson's '60s sound.
