In 1932, he moved with his family from Memphis to Detroit. In Detroit, he studied music in high school and played with the Plantation Music Orchestra.
Eventually, Wilson would write scores for Ellington, Basie, and Gillespie. In the fifties, he performed with small groups led by Buddy Collette, Curtis Counce and Leroy Vinnagar and began a career as one of the finest west coast arrangers, working in film and television. His behind-the-scenes association with Ellington intensified, and continued until Duke's death in 1974.

I've had this album for over 35 years. First on cassette and now CD. I'd love to have a Hi Rez, copy. This a movie soundtrack like album filled with some of the greatest jazz tunes I've heard. The solos are off the chart and I like how this is not just wild playing with no structure. It is very melodic. R.I.P. Gerald.

June Marshall I never knew about this guy- love this sound! Very full and rich orchestration...

Awesome Joe Pass solo on this one. It sounds like he's playing an archtop(nice tone) unlike some earlier albums where he's playing a fender jaguar. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the complete recordings on mosaic.

this sounds just like the phantom forest from Final Fantasy 6, or maybe Final Fantasy 6's Phantom Forest sounds just like this.
