About Matt Wilson’s Christmas Tree-O
At Dizzy’s Club in New York City, drummer Matt Wilson brings his Christmas Tree-O into a live jazz setting shaped for the season. The group—Wilson with Jeff Lederer and Paul Sikivie—treats holiday material as source code, pulling it apart and rebuilding it through improvisation, rhythm, and dry humor. Wilson has long been part of the city’s post-bop and downtown-adjacent ecology, and this project reads as a small ritual within that continuum. The critical point is how lightly the band holds tradition while still respecting its outlines.
