WILSON JOE LEE - CD SECRETS FROM THE SUN

Popis - SECRETS FROM THE SUN:
Having a deep baritone voice with a three-octave range and an adventurous spirit, Joe Lee Wilson performed with many notable jazz musicians during the 1960's including Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan, Pharoah Sanders, Jackie McLean, and Miles Davis. In the 1907's, Wilson was one of the originators and leaders of the New York Jazz Loft scene, in which musicians ran their own informal clubs and booked modern and avant-garde musicians. He ran his loft (the Ladies' Fort) for six years and organized a loft festival. During that decade he gained some recognition for his singing on Archie Sheep albums, and also worked with Freddie Hubbard. 'Jazz is my religion. When I sing, it is wonderful to see the audience so responsive and happy. This re-endorses my belief that it is a healing music.' -from the liner notes by Scott Yanow
