North Carolina born now west coast native, an accomplished singer-songwriter, the successful recording artist Jonathan Wilson is one of the great artists that London based label Bella Union has proven with a slam in their first at bat. In Jonathan’s new LP record, Fanfare, released in the US by October 15th, his words and music speak a chamber of such. The album is alive with nuance and demonstrates how multifariously Wilson has steeped his songwriting in the embrace of contemporary life and made expressions of thoughts and moods that run in parallel. The name of the seventh song on Fanfare is for the avant garde the multi-instrumental musician and percussionist, Cecil Taylor.
