A skilled creative improvisational player, saxophonist Bert Wilson was little known to all but the most dedicated jazz buffs. A skilled and original performer equally at home on tenor, alto, and soprano, he first emerged during the 1960s, appearing on records from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:4HfBxby5e2bCbVPe4pHeuV">Sonny Simmons</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6j8XuRRPpSxfaDKN3lYVNt">James Zitro</a>. When Wilson finally began leading his own dates years later, most of his albums were released on his own FMO label, and as a result were never privy to the kind of wide distribution they deserved. Those issued on other, more high-profile labels, like 1986's The Next Rebirth and 1994's Endless Fingers, typically earned high marks from critics. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
