unexpected moments in music. Wildman’s multi-faceted flexibility has allowed
him to seamlessly shift from performing in a trio with old-school veterans
Freddy Cole and Keter Betts to playing with the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band,
to interpreting new compositions with Ray Anderson, to playing completely
free with Kenny Werner. Since moving to New York, Wildman has also peroformed,
toured or recorded with artists including Stanley Turrentine, Dick Oatts,
Bobby Watson, Mark Egan, Jim McNealy, Jay Leonhart, Phil Markowitz, Scott
Robinson and Jon Faddis.
