Album Description

Fresh Release! "When Even Goes East", By The Dave Wilson Quartet

Dave Wilson is a leading jazz saxophonist, recording artist, band leader, composer, and educator in the Central PA/ Delaware Valley area, with a highly active venue and festival schedule as both a leader of his own groups and as a sideman. As the leader of his own contemporary jazz group, the Dave Wilson Quartet, Wilson and his band mates are known for their exciting improvisations, creative individualistic compositions, and unique arrangements of standards. The aim is to further and bring to fruition the music and vision of Dave Wilson, the artist. Defying categorization, the music is "what sounds good and can communicate with the audience on a deep level...it's jazz".

New album just released! When Even Goes East, the 8th recording from the Dave Wilson Quartet, (our first studio album since the 2015 Grammy nominated There Was Never); there are ten tracks in all, a compilation of four original songs penned by Dave, and six unique, compelling, and heartfelt arrangements of some of our favorite “Pop” music “New” standards including These Days (Jackson Browne, arr. Dave Wilson), Eyes of the World, (Grateful Dead, arr. Dave Wilson), Adios (Jimmy Webb, arr. Dave Wilson), the Beatles’ The Fool On The Hill (arr. Kirk Reese), Fire (Jimmy Hendrix, arr. Dave Wilson), and Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb, arr. Dave Wilson).

Featuring an all-star rhythm section comprised of colleagues, residents of the Pocono, PA region who have played around the world and all play regularly in New York City. Joined by the legendary LA percussionist Lenny Castro (Toto, Eric Clapton, John Mayer)) on five selections.

Early Reviews:

“Dave's work on saxophone immediately grabs us, creating an alluring atmosphere and taking us in some interesting directions. His saxophone creates a world I want to check out, want to live in for a while. It promises some excitement, some unusual characters, some fun. Dave's sax work has a beautiful air of melancholy to it at moments, sometimes reaching out, sometimes turning inward.”
Michael Doherty’s Music Log

“On When Even Goes East, the ever-inventive Dave Wilson leads his quartet through a thoughtful blend of originals and reimagined pop tunes, shaping an experience that feels both familiar and freshly personal. Wilson’s tenor and soprano saxophones deliver lyrical depth and an exploratory edge… a recording worthy of repeated listening.”
The Jazz Page by D. Glenn Daniels

“A stylistically varied journey, which ventures from whimsical and barn-burning off-kilter originals to sensual slow burning gems. Wilson’s set of originals and crafty, dynamics-filled re-imaginings of renowned and obscurities by some of the 60’s and 70’s premiere songwriters feature a fresh, vibrant quartet.”
JW Vibe by Jonathan Widran

“Dave Wilson has chosen to rearrange, take apart, and put back together hits by Glen Campbell, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. With a piano trio behind him, and remembering the lessons taught to him by the legendary sax man Joe Lovano, songs like “Wichita Lineman,” “Fire” and “The Fool On The Hill” never sounded like this.”
The Jersey Sound by Mike Greenblatt

“’When Even Goes East’ is a good solid contemporary jazz album, especially if you like melodic covers. This album could resonate well with those who like Charles Lloyd’s recent outings. And for the hardcore jazz fans tracks like “Let’s Go” fit the bill as well.”

Jazz Music Archives by John Sanders

“There is no doubt that Dave Wilson, both as a saxophonist and as a composer, is an exceptionally gifted musician. From the very first bars, the listener is immediately won over by the clarity, intelligence, and personality of his writing. Wilson’s compositional voice is confident and distinctive, marked by a strong melodic sense and an understated sophistication that rewards close listening.”
