Matt Wilson, named 2018’s Musician of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association, is a phenomenal drummer who has played with, and been praised by, a seemingly endless list of contemporary jazz greats. In addition to his instrumental skills, he receives constant praise as a bandleader and a creative force who experiments and pushes both sidemen and genre boundaries alike, while remaining widely accessible in every context. Funnily enough, the simple—albeit far too rare—element that elevates Wilson’s performances (and you’d be hard pressed to find a concert or record review that doesn’t mention this) is his obvious and unadulterated joy in playing this music. Wilson’s sense of humor, tireless smile, and spirited energy acts as the catalyst to everyone onstage and off feeling good and having fun. So whether you’re feeling great, feeling down, or anything in between, make sure you don’t miss out! Wilson’s here at Dizzy’s for three nights, and this evening’s performance will feature his longstanding, world-traveling Quartet alongside special guest vibraphonist Steve Nelson.
