Gerald Wilson is many things: composer, arranger, bandleader, storyteller, icon, legend.  In fact the only constant about Gerald Wilson in his 60 plus year career -- which spans over 50 releases -- has been his drive and determination to remain innovative. Monterey Moods is his third release for Mack Avenue following the Grammy® nominated New York, New Sound and his critically acclaimed In My Time.  In addition, this is the third time Mr. Wilson has been honored with a commission from the Monterey Jazz Festival. Monterey Moods commemorates the Golden Anniversary of one of the preeminent Jazz festivals in our history -- it is also a musical work of art from one of the great Jazz composers of our time. Featuring a guest appearance by Hubert Laws.
