Canadian guitarist/composer Sam Wilson blends finger-style guitar with the far-roving possibilities of jazz improvisation. Her current artistic muse is wild spaces and site-specific responses, as evidenced by her upcoming release Wintertides, featuring drummer Jen Yakamovich and bassist Geordie Hart (Malleus Trio). Written in the winter of 2022 on both the East Coast (Scotsburn, NS) and the West Coast (at Lena Residency, Galiano Island BC), it’s inspired by contrasting landscapes and the collaboration of bi-coastal communities. Her albums Into a Heart Pt. II and New Doors (Jackson/Wilson Duo) won Music Nova Scotia’s “Jazz Recording of the Year” in 2022 and 2023, respectively. “With a lyrical sensitivity to her instrumental compositions” this rising talent on the national jazz scene “draws listeners in with subtlety and introspective levity.” – Pop Matters – Best Jazz of 2019
