The Golden Sword ~ Gerald Wilson

Bandleader-arranger Gerald Wilson has always been a great admirer of bullfighters, and the powerful "Carlos" from this album became a permanent part of his repertoire. The other nine selections also pay tribute to aspects of Mexico and the soloists (which include trumpeters Jimmy Owens, Conte Candoli, and Nat Meeks; Roy Ayers or Victor Feldman on vibes; guitarist Laurindo Almeida; and the tenors of Harold Land and Teddy Edwards) seem quite inspired by the material. One of Gerald Wilson's most memorable albums.


01. The Golden Sword
02. Man Of La Mancha
03. The Breeze And I
04. Carlos
05. Chanson Du Feu Follet
06. Mi Corazon
07. Blues Latinese
08. The Feather
09. La Mentira
10. The Serpent
