Now granted, this looks pretty egotistical at first glance--listing a
big chunk of your resume on line. But--the name David Wild is not exactly
uncommon. In fact, I know of at least three different "David Wilds" who
have used that by-line: yours truly (the jazz author and pianist and your genial host);
the "pop" David Wild (an editor at Rolling Stone, author of several
books about TV shows and most recently host of a cable show called Musicians),
and a third (whom I originally knew only through some photographs published in down beat
in the mid 60's), the "English architect" David Wild, author of a book of jazz photos, Jazzpaths: an American photomemento, taken during two years in the US 1964-1966. So--in the interests of fairness, journalistic accuracy, and
public admission of guilt, I've listed the bulk of what I've written over the years. Since much of this material is about as accessible as the public library of the city of Atlantis, I've entered a couple of samples into evidence as Exhibits A and B,
along with links to on-line copies of liner notes...

Note: 'Around

listing omits the Ann Arbor news column which appeared in Cadence magazine 1980 -
1987. I have been the editor of the Central Texas Jazz Society's newsletter, CenTex Jazz News,
since January 2008. I've also left out a short story and a variety of other things written before
1974... |
