Melbourne-based tenor Julien Wilson leads a stellar OzJazz lineup on his fabulous debut album.
Well-known sideman and member of groups including Snag and IshIsh, here Wilson shows in no uncertain terms that he is never far from the front. With an astonishing clarity of purpose Wilson leads the outfits featured here through a set that both cruises and clatters.
The lineup featuring Stephen Magnusson on electric guitar, trombonist Jordan Murray and the Philip Rex/Simon Barker rhythm section manages a fair dose of stirringly compelling music. When Wilson is accompanied by Magnusson on acoustic guitar and piano accordionist Steve Grant things take some decidedly more melodic and contemplative turns. Also included is a DVD with some nice bargain bonuses.
