"lyrical trumpeter and ethereal vocalist"
- San Francisco Chronicle
“…a singular jazz artist with a tremendously evocative book
of original material.”-
Andrew Gilbert, Contra Costa Times
“Her material is rich with suggestion and possibility: ebullient
and tender,
poignant and humorous—an improviser’s dream.
Sarah has a gift for creating
fresh, idiosyncratic and complex
music that sounds completely natural.”
- Myra Melford
"Sarah has something really unique: a real BAND music for a small ensemble
of improvisers that holds up with
or without
the visual element. She has a
really special sense for orchestrating her tightly wound counterpoint
and a
fresh, unexpected approach to rhythm.
Leading a crack group of New York players,
Sarah has developed
a new music all her own."- Dave Douglas
Sarah Wilson Quintet, “Music for an Imaginary Play”
(Evander
Music, 2006)
“...evocative, elegant and comfortably familiar all at once.”
- Time Out New York
“Best of 2006 Bay Area Jazz CD’s…
Her transparent melodic
lines
flow with a dreamlike
internal logic,
but her tunes are
concise and
rarely meander…
Wilson is
an artist who
promises great things.”- Andrew Gilbert,
Contra Costa Times
“Her trumpet breathes fiery emotion into each scene,
as her
quintet lights
up each selection
with the solemn
majesty
of a unit inspired.” - Jim Santella,
Cadence Magazine
