Wilson Matt - Good Trouble

Fakten Matt Wilson's Good Trouble not only honors the late Rep Lewis but celebrates Wilson's 60th birthday and marks his 14th release as a leader for Palmetto Records. It also debuts a superb new quintet, also named Good Trouble, featuring alto saxophonist Tia Fuller, tenor saxophonist and clarinetist Jeff Lederer, pianist and vocalist Dawn Clement, and bassist Ben Allison. The centerpiece of Good Trouble is the three-part suite, penned by Wilson in the aftermath of the passing of Rep. Lewis and the equally inspirational Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg taking John Lewis' works to heart. Wilson says "Representative Lewis was such a dignified leader. "Every time he spoke he displayed so much integrity, clarity and honesty without a trace of bitterness, despite everything he'd faced in his life. He was a remarkable human being."
