A deeply melodic drumming style. A comic, almost antic approach to life. An abiding love for jazz history. New York-based drummer and Grammy nominee Matt Wilson is one of today’s most celebrated jazz artists and band-leaders. Known as a gifted composer, producer and teaching artist, Wilson will visit Dayton not just for a concert appearance but also to work in residency. With his ensemble—Chris Lightcap, bass; Jeff Lederer, tenor saxophone/clarinet; Kirk Knuffke, cornet—Wilson consistently delivers phenomenal performances that leave audiences smiling.
