Anthony Wilson is an album by jazz guitarist Anthony Wilson.
This was Wilson's debut album.[1] He commented that using a nonet meant that the album "is a record of experimentation, of me finding a sound. I love this instrumentation. It preserves the sound of a small band, but it can sound big when I want it to".[2]
Seven of the 10 tracks are Wilson originals.[1] He also wrote all of the arrangements, except for "The Parisian Knights", which he transcribed from the original Lucky Thompson recording.[1] The album was released on July 1, 1997,[2] by MAMA Records.[3]
