This Release Presents an Ultra Rare LP by the Gerald Wilson Orchestra for the First Time Ever on CD. Although He Recorded Innumerable Sessions as an Arranger and as a Trumpeter, this is the Only Studio Session Recorded by Wilson under his Own Name Between 1947 and 1961, When He Began a Long Term Recording Contract with Pacific Records. What Makes "Big Band Modern" Even More Interesting is that Six of the Eight Tunes on the Album were Composed by Wilson Himself. Considering the Dearth of Wilson's Recordings with his Own Band During this Period, the 1950 Concert Recorded in San Francisco - which is Included on this Release as a Bonus Performance - Is, Without a Doubt, an Essential Addition to Wilson's Recorded Legacy, and an Extremely Important Discographic Discovery. In Fact, this Concert Has Never Been Previously Released on Any Format.
