In 1953, Joe Wilder (Colwyn, Pennsylvania 1922), an ex-Basieite trumpeter with extensive big band experience, settled in New York to play for pit bands, TV, and to do studio recording work. Wilder s reputation as a valuable sideman became increasingly impressive, more so with each new appearance on record, and for good reason. On the opening session of this set recorded in November 1955 Wilder is guested on two standards with the superb trio of Hank Jones, Wendell Marshall and Kenny Clarke, the Savoy label s house rhythm section. They proved an ideal support for Wilder s delightfully musical sensibility, something triumphantly confirmed a few weeks later when they backed Wilder on his own solo debut album, N Wilder... a wonderfully individual session on which he displays the rare combination of flowing, singing lines and drive, strength and swing. Mature and impressive at any tempo, Wilder s beautiful, big-toned sound, and fresh, creative conception shines especially on ballads. 

On the last date, we find the trumpeter back in the fall of 1954, when he played as a sideman of a sextet headed by Pete Brown, an unjustly neglected, tastefully jumping alto saxophonist, who made his leader debut on record for Bethlehem with the 10 album Peter the Great. On a well-chosen programme of standards and blues, both hornmen display a skilled range of ability at an easy, conversational level, well supported by a good rhythm section featuring brief but excellent contributions by guitarist Wally Richardson, and Wade Legge, Dizzy Gillespie s pianist. At a time when many styles were blurring into each other, Wilder was maturely his own man, with such a beautiful sound. Still active in 2013 he is a true living legend of the trumpet. ~ Editorial Reviews  http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Sound-Wilder-Brown-Sextet/dp/B00HT4M21K
