Randal V.Wilson

Zeitgeist News Forum & Reviews-Scotland

Randal V. Wilson - Time Well Spent. Now this was a delight. Smooth, guitar based jazz with a strong sense of spirituality and well being running through it. This was a delight from start to finish.

An all too brief mini album. The six tracks come and go in less than 25 minutes, but when the music is as well honed as it is here, you're happy to turn around and play it all over again. The pleasure is just as pronounced on repeated listenings as it was the first time around.

Primarily self penned and predominately instrumental, Mr Wilson knows his way around a fretboard, and there is a delicacy of touch on display which is utterly delicious. The highlight, though, is the one song which features the vocals of Stuart Scaggs, 'No Secrets (In The Heart)', which is just a fabulous, fabulous song, easy without being lazy.

Certainly a name to watch out for. This was a rare treat!

Sur 'Time Well Spent', Randal voit se dissoudre ses doutes et questions existentielles dans les grooves de guitares jazzy. Notre homme part ici à la recherche de la délivrance au travers de plages musicales jazzy et bien chaloupées. On notera une apparition remarquée du claviériste Mark Willis et du chanteur Stuart Scaggs.
Translation: Randal sees how to dissolve doubts and existential questions in the grooves of jazzy guitars. Our man leaves here to research the delivery through jazz music and quiet swaying beaches. One will notice an appearance of the clavierist Mark Willis and the singer Stuart Scaggs.

Randal V. Wilson - Time Well Spent The debut release by this hard working Detroit guitarist is ear candy at its finest. Known mostly as a backing musician, Wilson moves to the front here with a nice mix of traditional and smooth jazz along with R&B grooves, sounding in part like a great Larry Coryell disc. The six cuts are uniformly strong, and the guest vocal by Stuart Scaggs gives the excellent "No Secrets" a country feel that works well with Wilson's strong guitar work. Recommended. review from Soul Tracks http://www.soultracks.com/


Thank you so much for sending Randal's CD "Time Well Spent." Really great work. Everytime I'm looking for new, quality material in the Smooth Jazz, Soul and Latin scene it's a pleasure to support names outside of the "Big Label Business."

Thanks again
