Smooth Jazz Duo

Keyboard / Saxophonist Willie Wilson, performs intimate smooth jazz duets
to create a relaxing atmosphere. Their compositions are selected from a
repertoire of contemporary jazz standards as well as their own originals.

smoothly within the harmonic chops of keyboard player Willie Wilson. The
musical passions of both artists are very evident in their performances. What a Dynamic Duo! Their sound is exciting to the soul yet calming to the
spirit. The dedication to their musicianship and the breadth of their
experience are evident on every song. When two musicians of their caliber
come together good things are bound to happen. So if you are looking for
music that will bring your next event to life, Clear Vision is your
solution! If you are looking for musicians for live music for your next venue and the quality of sound and performance is a priority, Clear Vision's music
will be a perfect fit. Clear Vision delivers the full sound of a premium
band and performs the bass, saxophone and keyboard parts live for your
guests. Specializing in superb music for upscale events (music festivals /
benefits, corporate parties, trade shows, church events, weddings and
more) Clear Vision plays continuously, one great song after another, from
a repertoire of over six hours of live music. Clear Vision are proud users of the Yamaha motif synth, Yamaha Wx5, Alesis, Roland, Emu, Cubase audio, and Antigua winds instruments.

At present my life is nearly all percussion related, either playing, teaching, repairing, building, tec-ing, so if you need anything or help and advice, give me a shout. If i dont know I will know someone who does. Best moment to date playing with Nicky Lewin, Esperer, a duo guitar and drums, so intense, wow! Maddest moment, jamming with Clyde & Jabo, James Brown's Funky drummers, and being on Chad Smiths Norwich Clinic DVD. Totally mad. Jamming with the boys at Blue Lounge also takes up the odd sunday but it's great fun, and well done KYM! You keep going, top man!
