:''For similarly-named individuals, see Phil Wilson (disambiguation)'' Phillip Wilson (September 8, 1941 — March 25, 1992) was an American jazz percussionist, known as a founding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and as a member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. ==Biography== Born in St. Louis, Phillip Wilson was a third generation musician. His grandfather, Ira Kimball, was a percussionist playing on the riverboats that traveled down the Mississippi to New Orleans. His recording debut was with Sam Lazar, noted for having one of the first interracial bands in the St. Louis area.〔City of Gabriels: the history of jazz in St. Louis, 1895-1973, Dennis Owsley〕 Moving to Chicago, he was a member of the AACM and performed with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. He joined up with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 1967 at a time when the band membership changed greatly, including an added horn section. He recorded three albums with the group. Wilson's song ''Love March'', co-written with Gene Dinwiddie, was performed at Woodstock and released in 1970 on the original live record album from the festival. Wilson, along with Dinwiddie and fellow former Butterfield Band member Buzz Feiten, formed the jazz-rock band ''Full Moon'' in the early 70's. They recorded a self-titled album which is considered one of the finest early examples of Jazz Fusion. He was part of the loft jazz scene in 70’s New York, worked as a session musician for Stax Records in Memphis, jammed with Jimi Hendrix at the Cafe Au Go Go, recorded with The Last Poets, Olu Dara, David Murray, Anthony Braxton, and a host of other musicians. He worked extensively with Lester Bowie 〔(Allmusic )〕 Wilson was still actively pursuing his musical career when he was assassinated on March 25, 1992, at 440 East 9th Street in New York City. In 1997, Marvin Slater, NYS DIN# 97-A-5198, was convicted and sentenced to 33 1/3 years for the intentional murder of Wilson. The motive has never been revealed and more investigation is still needed.〔("Phillip Wilson Remembered" (''St. Louis Jazz Notes'', November 10, 2008) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phillip Wilson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
