Master Jazz Guitar Series sponsored by Lee & Sharon Grinspan

Anthony Wilson is a guitarist and composer known for a nuanced body of work that moves fluidly across genres.

Born in Los Angeles, Wilson is the son of the late jazz trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson.

An inventive soloist and sensitive accompanist, Wilson has provided texture and authority both on stage and in recording sessions for jazz legends such as Ron Carter, Mose Allison, Bobby Hutcherson, Bennie Wallace, Joe Sample, Al Jarreau and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.

Over the last decade, he’s been part of sessions and performances with a diverse roster of artists, including Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Aaron Neville and Barbra Streisand. In 2009, he arranged and orchestrated Brazilian composer Ivan Lins’ “Love Dance” for Ms. Streisand’s Grammy-nominated album Love Is the Answer.

A gifted composer as well, Wilson, while still in his 20s, won the Thelonious Monk Institute International Composers Competition in 1995. Since then, he has received commissions from IAJE, the Henry Mancini Institute, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association.
