Some great tenor/drum duet drumming today from Matt Wilson and saxophonist Will Brown on Dewey Redman's classic theme "Willisee":
This piece was originally recorded as a duet between Dewey Redman and Ed Blackwell on the 1980 live album "In Willisau". Wilson was also a long-time sonic collaborator with Redman, playing in his quartet in later years.
I was fortunate to study with Matt during 2004 in New York City thanks to a study grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. I consider Matt and a good friend and a mentor. He always puts the music first and is all ears, all the time.
