MAKE MOVES 12.2 feat. Anthony Wilson, guitarist, composer, arranger, and creative wanderer.  Full interview on iTunes: apple.co/2mLUFQ6 or download: bit.ly/2lN8H4H

Anthony describes his early childhood fascination with music and sketches out the balancing act of being a free spirit and a disciplined practitioner of music.  Anthony reveals some candid thoughts with John about his father-son relationship with Gerald Wilson, the great jazz luminary.  There is some nuanced and slightly heady conversation about the movement of individual voices throughout harmonic structures.  Anthony describes the various stages of his musical education, including the things he learned about the guitar from  legendary guitar teacher Ted Greene.  The interview closes with some soul searching statements about taking creative risk and being artistically vulnerable.
