His well-crafted sets offer audiences a rich tapestry, fusing classical jazz, R&B, soul and funk, Latin, and lyrical ballads. Since 1990 he has carefully nurtured two critically acclaimed quartets that have recorded and performed internationally, each with its signature sound. Not one to rest on his laurels, Steve is continually working on new projects. This will be the place to catch up on who is working with Steve!
The Steve Wilson/Lewis Nash Duo
Nash & Wilson are two instrumentalists whose playing is richly steeped in the history of jazz. They are leaders of their generation concocting their own brand of elegant and intricate music. Together they click like two gears, reaching their audience in more than musical ways. Their performances are brimming with virtuosic command of rhythm, coloration, melodic flare, and their exquisite gifts for phrasing and lyricism. Two of the most sought after musicians on the jazz scene, they are improvisation and creativity at its very best!
“grace, generosity and intelligence”
– Albany Jazz
“Nash’s swinging brilliance, quick reflexes, and melodic bent are all plainly evident here, as are Wilson’s lyrical side, playfulness, and rhythmic approach to conversation.”
Steve Wilson & Billy Childs
Steve Wilson and the Wells School of Music at West Chester University (PA) are commissioning Billy Childs to write a piece for wind ensemble, piano and Steve as the soloist. The piece will have elements of both Classical and Jazz. We are looking to put together a consortium of co-commissioners, asking $2000 each. We are inviting you to be a part of the consortium. Our goal is to not only to expand the wind ensemble repertoire, but to also ensure that the piece gets performed many times over.
The piece will have its premiere in the Spring of 2025, at West Chester University, who has also committed to recording the piece immediately after the premier.
