Anthony Wilson has had an abundantly diverse career, since bursting into notoriety in 1997 with his eponymous, Grammy-nominated debut as a guitarist and arranger. In addition to his critically acclaimed nonet albums, Wilson was Diana Krall’s longtime guitarist, also becoming a singer starting with his 2016 folk-inspired album Frogtown (Goat Hill). He returned to the nonet format in 2025 with the release of House of the Singing Blossoms (Sam First). This is Wilson’s second Blindfold Test; the first was in 2007 at the Monterey Jazz Festival alongside his father, trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson.
