From the liner notes: The week before these sessions in the summer of 2023, I sat down each morning with the goal of composing one new song by day’s end. I knew I’d soon be in the room with my dear friends Gerald Clayton, John Clayton, and Jeff Hamilton, three musicians whom I trust the most, and with whom I’ve played the most over the last couple of decades. I tried to imagine themes that would feel natural to us, the kinds of songs we could simply dive into without much thinking. When we headed to Kevin Gray’s studio to record, I brought seven new songs along with me. Five are included on this album. “Daido” is dedicated to Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, who became known in the late 1960s for his grainy, sometimes blurry, high-contrast black and white images made throughout Japan. I love his pictures taken on the streets of various Tokyo neighborhoods such as Shinjuku. His portrait of a menacing stray dong, from his series “A Hunter,” is the kind of picture that, seen just once, is unforgettable. These days Daido is still out on the street making pictures, at the ripe young age of 85. “Verdesse” has a sinuous, chorinho-like melody and rhythmic feel. The tune seems to weave and bob playfully in a space of brightness the way a grapevine seems to curl towards the sunlight. So I named it after a wine grape native to the pre-Alpine region of Isère, near Grenoble in eastern France, that makes a particularly delicious and drinkable white wine. I wrote “Sunday,” well…on Sunday. It unfolds slowly, like a good Sunday does when there’s nothing to do, you can sleep in, you’ve got your person beside you, and you just relax into the day. “The Lands” is dedicated to a family very dear to my heart: that of tenor saxophonist Harold Land. My mother met Harold when they were both teenagers growing up in San Diego, California. The two of them became lifelong friends, and a little later, Harold enjoyed a fruitful musical association and close friendship with my father, Gerald Wilson. Harold, his lovely wife Lydia, and their son Harold Jr. were extended family for us; they looked after me with love and care. Some of my first gigs ever as a young guitarist were with Harold’s incredible band that included Oscar Brashear, Billy Higgins, Richard Reid, and Harold Land Jr. I’ve loved Todd Rundgren’s “Marlene” since I first heard it on his epic double-album Something/Anything. With its tender, well-contoured melody buoyed by a few special harmonic surprises, it almost seems like something from the pen of Burt Bacharach. It tells such a complete musical story. Rundgren’s recorded version has a beautiful endlessly repeating tag. So we played the melody simply, and used the tag as a small staging area for a bit of improvising. Hackensack West is our alias for engineer Kevin Gray’s studio Cohearent Recording, a place inspired by Rudy Van Gelder’s first studio in Hackensack, New Jersey. Located inside Van Gelder’s parents’ home, the musicians played in the living room! It was there, in 1954, that Thelonious Monk recorded his classic tune “Hackensack,” a “contrafact” melody over the chord changes to the Gershwins’ “Oh, Lady Be Good!” In contrafact-like fashion, my own bebop-spirited melody “Hackensack West” seems to nod toward the changes of a few recognizable standards, without corresponding to any particular one.
