About Me |
|
| Guitarist Duncan Black's recent description of Les Wilson as being "....little known but rather cool...." is probably a fairly accurate description! A veteran improvisor whose playing has received a warm response both at home and in Europe, Les Wilson is steadily establishing a reputation as a sensitive and empathic player in a wide variety of styles and situations, although he is most at home in improvised and acoustic settings.
