Swing Is In The Air
Sunday May 19th, 2013 with Ralph Hopper
The Gerald Wilson Orchestra and Vancouver based musician Alan Matheson

Gerald Wilsons arranging career has spanned 7 decades and he is as inventive in his recent work as he was in the 1960's. We listen to recordings today from his Pacific Jazz days and compare those to a more recent recording done with a group of top New York musicians in 2005.
