Description
Attitude for Gratitude features compositions by Wilson ("Bubbles", "No Outerwear" and "Stolen Time") as well as his by his band mates Gary Versace "Poster Boy" and Martin Wind, "Cruise Blues". The recording also features interpretations of "You Bet" by (Wilson's friend and collaborator) John Scofield, "Teen Town" by Jaco Pastorius, Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Little Boy with the Sad Eyes" by Nat Adderley. "I recently heard Barbra Streisand singing "Happy Days Are Here Again," and knew it was an ideal ballad for this recording.
Our founding bassist, the late Dennis Irvin, often sang the standard "There Is No You" at our gigs. On the recording, Terell (Stafford) sings it on the trumpet acappella in his memory. It is absolutely gorgeous".
Personnel : Terrell Stafford (trumpet), Gary Versace (keyboards), Martin Wind (bass) & Matt Wilson (drums)
