A fresh and exciting project of new music, ranging from blues to melodic swing and stunning vocals. The music is inspired by the life of Harlem born, mixed race classical piano prodigy, Philippa Schuyler. Wilson's performance of Philippa is a captivating one as he draws you into the world of Schuyler, a life of mixed identity, love and eventually loss. His gift for story-telling and his passionate music will leave you feeling both uplifted and inspired. Abram Wilson is an award-winning trumpeter, vocalist and composer whose infectious warmth and truly electric stage presence spring directly from his roots in the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans. An evening spent with Abram Wilson and his brand new quartet promises you a masterful set of compelling and wonderfully melodic music. Grounded in blues and swing, you are guaranteed a night of good-time music!
