He leads many distinctive ensembles including Good Trouble, the Matt Wilson Quartet, Arts & Crafts, Honey and Salt, Big Happy Family, Topsy Turvy, and the Christmas Tree-O. Named the 2018 Musician of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association, Matt’s album, Honey And Salt (Music Inspired by the Poetry of Carl Sandburg), won 2018 Album of the Year.
