Wilson's third disc as a leader, \u003ci\u003eAdult Themes\u003c\/i\u003e , sprinkles plenty of his deliciously melodic and Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt-infused soloing all over the disc's eight tracks. But Wilson's formidable guitar playing isn't even half of what makes \u003ci\u003eAdult Themes\u003c\/i\u003e so remarkable. Rather, it's the way his composing and arranging takes such full advantage of his nine-piece group that it's hard at times to believe this isn't an actual big band making these sounds. Anyone who noticed the sophistication of Wilson's previous efforts, his self-titled 1997 debut and 1998's \u003ci\u003eGoat Hill Junket\u003c\/i\u003e , may not be overly surprised, but what lifts \u003ci\u003eAdult Themes\u003c\/i\u003e above those albums is an increased diversity, as John Carisi's \"Barry's Tune\" settles into a deep Afro-Cuban groove and a version of the Beatles' \"Because\" even features an electric sitar. But it's the album's closing title piece, a five-part suite that recalls Charles Mingus's ambitious extended works, that is Wilson's crowning moment. Combining unaccompanied guitar, luscious horn orchestrations, and dizzying swing, the piece has a unified mood and should put to rest any speculation about Wilson being someone to watch for in the future: after \u003ci\u003eAdult Themes\u003c\/i\u003e , he's clearly already here. \u003ci\u003e--Ezra Gale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 734956102623\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0734956102623\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42624736559363,"sku":"H5-EZCZ-Y48C","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/41HQCT6FBPL.jpg?v=1648350155","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/adult-themes","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
