Gerald Stanley Wilson (September 4, 1918 – September 8, 2014)〔Don Heckman, ("Gerald Wilson dies at 96; multifaceted jazz musician" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', September 8, 2014.〕 was an American jazz trumpeter, big band bandleader, composer/arranger, and educator, who was based in Los Angeles since the early 1940s. In addition to being a band leader, Wilson wrote arrangements for many other prominent artists including Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Julie London, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Carter, Lionel Hampton, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Nancy Wilson.〔 ==Early life== Wilson was born in Shelby, Mississippi,〔 and at the age of 16 moved to Detroit, where he graduated from Cass Technical High School (one of his classmates was saxophonist Wardell Gray).〔Peter Vacher, ("Gerald Wilson obituary" ), ''The Guardian'', 15 September 2014.〕 He joined the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra in 1939, replacing its star trumpeter and arranger Sy Oliver. While with Lunceford, Wilson contributed numbers to the band's book, including "Hi Spook" and "Yard-dog Mazurka", the first being influenced by Ellington's recording of "Caravan" and the latter being a big influence on Stan Kenton's famous signature tune "Intermission Riff".〔William Yardley, ("Gerald Wilson, Versatile Jazz Arranger, Is Dead at 96" ), ''The New York Times'', September 9, 2014.〕 During World War II, Wilson also performed for a brief time with the U.S. Navy, with musicians including Clark Terry, Willie Smith and Jimmy Nottingham, among others. Around 2005, many of the members of the band reunited as "The Great Lakes Experience Big Band," with Wilson conducting and Ernie Andrews making a guest appearance at the invitation of Clark Terry. Wilson also played and arranged for the bands of Benny Carter, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie.
