Early Reviews:
“Dave's work on saxophone immediately grabs us, creating an alluring atmosphere and taking us in some interesting directions. His saxophone creates a world I want to check out, want to live in for a while. It promises some excitement, some unusual characters, some fun. Dave's sax work has a beautiful air of melancholy to it at moments, sometimes reaching out, sometimes turning inward.”
Michael Doherty’s Music Log
“On When Even Goes East, the ever-inventive Dave Wilson leads his quartet through a thoughtful blend of originals and reimagined pop tunes, shaping an experience that feels both familiar and freshly personal. Wilson’s tenor and soprano saxophones deliver lyrical depth and an exploratory edge… a recording worthy of repeated listening.”
The Jazz Page by D. Glenn Daniels
“A stylistically varied journey, which ventures from whimsical and barn-burning off-kilter originals to sensual slow burning gems. Wilson’s set of originals and crafty, dynamics-filled re-imaginings of renowned and obscurities by some of the 60’s and 70’s premiere songwriters feature a fresh, vibrant quartet.”
JW Vibe by Jonathan Widran
“Dave Wilson has chosen to rearrange, take apart, and put back together hits by Glen Campbell, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. With a piano trio behind him, and remembering the lessons taught to him by the legendary sax man Joe Lovano, songs like “Wichita Lineman,” “Fire” and “The Fool On The Hill” never sounded like this.”
The Jersey Sound by Mike Greenblatt
“There is no doubt that Dave Wilson, both as a saxophonist and as a composer, is an exceptionally gifted musician. From the very first bars, the listener is immediately won over by the clarity, intelligence, and personality of his writing. Wilson’s compositional voice is confident and distinctive, marked by a strong melodic sense and an understated sophistication that rewards close listening.”
