“A very individual voice…She makes music her own way.”
-Frank Alkyer, DownBeat Magazine

“…her vocal on Joy Division’s 'Love Will Tear Us Apart,' is the year’s most inspired cover.”
-Francis Davis, Village Voice Article here.

“From the jubilant, Ghanian Highlife-flavored opener ("Blessing") to a roadhouse-meets-klezmer romp ("At Zebulon") and blues-tinged Crescent City stroll ("To New Orleans"), Wilson and crew cover a lot of stylistic ground.”
-Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times

“Her new CD Trapeze Project showcases her danceable, visually evocative and melodic music that is both sophisticated and accessible.”
-Jazziz

“Songs that sound cerebral, made of far-flung resources, but at the same time sounding very melodic and organic, with a strong emotional appeal.”

“An engaging and evocative album… A small gem of delight.”
-Bruce Lindsay, All About Jazz Article here.

“While collaborating with some of jazz's most expressive instrumental voices (clarinetist Ben Goldberg, pianist Myra Melford, drummer Scott Amendola and bassist Jerome Harris), Wilson has followed her muse into uncharted territory, a realm where mystical Persian poetry sits comfortable next to her sorrowful crooning of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart.”
-Andrew Gilberts 10 Favorite CDs of 2010, The California Report

“...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
