Alex Wilson
Alex Wilson Trio (AWCD9) LISTEN BUY
A combination of live and studio recordings, this is Alex Wilson's ninth album, but his first for acoustic piano trio. It is thus a new departure, but is also a thought-through amalgamation of
the wide range of experiences gathered and remembered from two decades touring the world. Brimful of energy and ideas, this album is a strong statement about the breadth and
interconnections of Alex Wilson's musical heritage, particularly the equatorial currents linking West African music with the music of the Caribbean and Latin America.
Wilber Calver - Diaspora (AWCDD1) LISTEN BUY
"Wilber Calver is a unique new artist who has created a brilliant original sounding album that is steeped in the traditions of his Cuban culture and the Celtic folklore of his chosen instrument the bagpipes. I can't stop playing it."
Courtney Pine OBE
Alex Wilson presents Salsa Veritas (AWCD8) LISTEN BUY
"With its punchy horns, swinging percussion
and impassioned vocals, Salsa Veritas got
my toes tapping from the get-go"
Jane Cornwell, Songlines Magazine 4**** review
Mali Latino (AWCD7) LISTEN BUY
"Mali Latino combines the fire of Latin salsa and jazz with sumptuous melody from Mali, in an explosive and unforgettable album."
Dr Lucy Duran, presenter, World Routes, BBC Radio 3
Salsa con Soul (AWCD6) LISTEN BUY
"A true gem that will make fans both at radio and clubs worldwide"
Nelson Rodriguez, Latin Beat Magazine (USA)

The Guardian ****
“.. full of the driving grooves and gentle ballads with which Wilson helped inspire Britain’s great love affair with Cuban jazz.”
