festival performer
Wilson has received a number of Grammy
nominations throughout his career. He is an NEA recipient as a Jazz Master
and his works are ensconced in the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress
in Washington D.C. He was honored at the Kennedy Center in March 2007, along
with a number his peers, as a "Living Legend of Jazz".He also played
and arranged for Count Basie and later for Duke Ellington. In addition to
leading his band and writing arrangements for others (including Sarah Vaughan,
Ray Charles,Julie London, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Carter,
Lionel Hampton, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Nancy Wilson), Wilson
has been a member of the faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles,
for many years, recently winning (late in his ninth decade!) a "teacher
of the year" award. He also served on the faculty at California State
University, Northridge in the 1970s where he taught Jazz History to wide acclaim
among the student body. He currently teaches Jazz History classes with fellow
Jazz player, Kenny Burrell at UCLA.
In February 2006, Wynton Marsalis and The Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra performed
his music with Mr. Wilson conducting.
