Pied Piper: Thad Wilson Orchestra

topstopwilson.jpg AS PART OF the always-illustrious Duke Ellington Jazz Festival, D.C.-based trumpet maestro Thad Wilson and his Orchestra will perform at their home venue, Bohemian Caverns.

Although Wilson is not a native of our fine city, he has quickly become a staple of its jazz scene by pulling together an eclectic variety of musicians who will follow him anywhere. His Orchestra, for example, is a 16-piece strong, grandiose affair with a larger than life sound that typifies but modernizes the genre. In short: Sweet tunes, sweet venue, sweet reason to step out on a Monday.
