| After a number of years anchoring other groups, including the Either/Orchestra and Charlie Kohlhase's quintet, Illinois native has finally begun leading his own group, a quartet. His recorded debut, A Wave Follows Wave (Palmetto) made a number of top 10 lists, and his second, Going Once, Going Twice features appearances by Dewey Redman and Lee Konitz in addition to the regulars Joel Frahm (tenor and soprano saxophones), Andrew D'Angelo (alto sax and bass clarinet), and Yosuke Inoue (bass). Says Chicago Reader critic Neil Tesser, "no matter who cooks up the music at the front of the band, Wilson acts as a sous-chef behind his smallish trap set, displaying a leader's grasp of any tune he supports. His stick work is as breezy and discursive as a poolroom debate, and he shifts textures with alacrity to render remarkable detail and nuance." The Boston Globe's Bob Blumenthal agrees. "Besides being a great drummer and a promising composer, Wilson also knows how to lead a band." Ken Franckling (UPI) calls Wilson, who currently lives in New York "a wizard of sounds, pulling from his bag of tricks a spectrum of musical colors and accents to fit whatever jazz moment he is in at the time."
