Welcome to another edition of The Pace Report featuring jazz guitarist Dan Wilson.
For well over a decade, Dan Wilson has been one of the jazz world's up and coming guitarist. The Akron, Ohio native played and toured in organist Joey DeFrancisco's last organ group and featured on his Grammy nominated "Project Freedom" album(2017). Over the years he's played with Les McCann, Russell Malone, Jeff Hamilton, David Sanborn, and Rene Marie.
His current Mack Avenue Records release "Things Eternal" was produced by his mentor Christian McBride.This is his second release and also plays in McBride's Tip City Trio.
In this edition of The Pace Report, you'll see highlights of his performance at the 2024 Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival. We sit down and talk about and reflect on the lives of Joey DeFrancesco and Russell Malone, candidly talk about guitar icon George Benson, and the role the church playing in his musical development.
