Event Details

Wilson and Stuart choose the unusual path of bari sax-guitar duo…From the gentle hush of Stuart's ‘Wednesday’s Child' to Wilson's deep groove on Stuart's ‘Blueprint’ this release showcases two strong talents who ably transcend the stated limitations of such an instrumental duet pairing - Willard Jenkins, Jazz Times

Described by Jazz Times as "Perhaps THE most innovative straight-ahead jazz guitarist to emerge in years,”, NY-based jazz guitarist and composer Rory Stuart is listed as one of the greatest living jazz guitarists by Scott Yanow (“The Great Jazz Guitarists”). 

Glenn Wilson, described by All Music Guide as "an unsung hero in modern jazz," has worked with The Buddy Rich Band, Lionel Hampton Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra, Tito Puente, Machito, Bruce Hornsby, and many others. 

Both Glenn and Rory have led critically acclaimed groups, have recorded together (including a duo CD, Bittersweet -Sunnyside SSC1057) and toured extensively.  Between them, they have over 16 recordings as a leader and dozens more as sidemen.
