John Wilson Orchestra Essentials

Since its formation in 1994, the John Wilson Orchestra has glided, swayed, and tapped through standards from Hollywood to Broadway and delighted millions of listeners with the much-loved BBC Proms concerts. Drums shuffle and singers croon through musicals like Gershwin's jazzy, upbeat An American in Paris and countless Rodgers and Hammerstein favorites, while peppy woodwinds hover above swooning trumpets and dandy strings. Wilson's tour de force ensemble, with its powerful rhythm section and zippy saxophones, is virtually guaranteed to get listeners swingin' in their seats.
