Jazz Teacher Wilson Lands TV Big Band Job
AP reports Gerald Wilson, Cal State Northridge jazz history teacher, trumpeter and arranger, now heads the big band on Redd Foxx's ABC comedy show. Born in Mississippi, raised in Michigan and Detroit, Wilson has 18 albums and has written for Ray Charles, Jean-Luc Ponty, and others. This marks his first weekly network gig, earned after Foxx asked him to write a theme and offer TV work. His band may soon back the Foxx show, reflecting rising interest in jazz among younger listeners as veteran musicians teach in schools nationwide.

It previews tomorrow’s column concluding this five part series.
Somoza's Gymnastic Guard Deters Cautious Crowd
