Alone With Just My Dreams
..Wilder's first album as a leader since 1959 contains excellent uptempo and blues numbers, its three slow ballads are highlights. ...a commanding stylist who combines the strong points of both swing and bebop. --Will Friedwald, The New York Times...the most gently lyrical trumpet playing I've heard since the death of Chet Baker. ...this disc is a joy to listen to. --Michael Ullman, CD Review...A thoughtful player who has retained that luscious tone through the years, Joe Wilder finally gets a chance to shine, and he makes every note count. --Scott Yanow, L.A.
