Biography

American jazz pianist. Born November 24, 1912, Austin, Texas, USA. Died July 31, 1986, New Britain, Connecticut, USA. Described by jazz critic [a=Scott Yanow] as "the definitive swing pianist." Wilson's sophisticated and elegant style was featured on the records of many of the biggest names in jazz including [a38201], [a300050], [a254768], [a33589], and [a31615]. With Goodman, he was perhaps the first well-known black musician to play publicly in a racially integrated group. In addition to his extensive work as a sideman, Wilson also led his own groups and recording sessions from the late 1920s until the 1980s. Brother of [a=Augustus Wilson]. Briefly married to songwriter [a=Irene Wilson] in the 1930s.
