Sacred Sounds Sam Wilson & Andrew Jackson

Please join us for Sacred Silence Sacred Sounds, a contemplative gathering with different artists every month.

This month features Sam Wilson & Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson and Sam Wilson have been exploring the interplay of trombone and guitar, while honing their musical chemistry as a duo since 2014. Upon meeting, both musicians were searching for a setting to explore jazz in a less traditional format, which has led them to develop a common musical language and create an original duo sound.

While both are acclaimed musicians and composers guided by a jazz perspective, they bring a myriad of influences to the project with repertoire extending from standards by the greats of the past such as Billy Strayhorn, to folk covers by the likes of Nick Drake and original compositions. Their music has been described by listeners as a cinematic instrumental sound bath.
What is to be experienced when we pass through ‘New Doors’? This is the question being explored by the Jackson\Wilson Duo’s project and their debut album New Doors which was awarded the 2023 Jazz Recording of the Year by Music Nova Scotia.
