Harry Wilson on Gravatt Entertainment

“Harry Wilson vibraphonist extraordinaire”. That’s how his fans refer to him. He has been

playing the vibraphone for over thirty years.

Mr. Wilson is influenced by the late great Lionel Hampton who, not only mastered the vibraphone,

but pioneered the “vibes” in the emerging world of jazz.

Harry’s earliest and biggest influence is the renowned Sun Ra. Harry played with Sun Ra Arkestra

throughout the United States and abroad. In those early years Harry Wilson mastered his technique

on the vibraphone and this is where he discovered his unique style.
