My decision to have a career in music was made when I was 14. I had no idea what that meant, or what exactly I would do, but I knew it had to be music. At the time, the only choices I could think of were to be a music teacher or a performer. It wasn’t until after earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees, that I discovered the behind-the-scenes part of the music business.

Do you have students, who like me, know they want to have a career in music? One way for them to have a clearer understanding of how the business works is for them to become familiar with different “‘team members”’ and what they do that help to guide and grow an artist’s career.

Steve Wilson and Wilsonian Grain named to Jazziz 2015 Critics’ Choice

POSTED ON January 25, 2016

Steve Wilson featured in Jazziz MagazineSteve Wilson and Wilsonian Grain‘s new CD, Live in New York: The Vanguard Sessions, was named one of Jazziz’ Critics’ Choice CD for 2015:

It has been 12 years since the release of Steve Wilson’s last CD as a leader, and the powerhouse saxophonist arrived at the Village Vanguard ready to tear it up. Ignited by a first-rate rhythm section (Orrin Evans, Ugonna Okegwo and Bill Stewart), Wilson jabs, hooks and uppercuts his way through seven pieces, starting with Monk’s “Well You Needn’t” and concluding with a blazing interpretation of Joe Chambers’ “Patterns.” A couple slower numbers allow the listener to unwind, but the pervasive emotion that characterizes the entire album is pure exhilaration.
