Bob Wilson is a Grammy-nominated drummer, songwriter, and a founding member of the band SeaWind whose sound defined an era of jazz fusion in the 70’s-80’s. They were also the precursor to the Jerry Hey Horns, who have set the bar for rhythm and horn section studio recording for generations. Bob later toured with Billy & Franklin Graham for over 10 years and is currently a producer with wildly successful music software company Spectrasonics, whose products Omnisphere, Stylus, Keyscape, and more are used every day by A-List music producers and film, tv, and, game composers. He’s got some wonderful stories and advice… here’s Bob Wilson.

Battle Hymn at Rose Bowl Stadium – Calling The Dawgs to Pasadena
As a former Redcoat & UGA Alumnus, although I was a 1st Trumpet, I never got the chance to play the Battle Hymn Solo at the game. With this in mind, I thought there would be no better way to Call The Dawgs to my current home, beautiful Pasadena and L.A., than with this short Hype Video, to fire up those that are coming out here (and those that aren’t) for the 2018 Rose Bowl Game between our Georgia Bulldogs and the Oklahoma Sooners. Go Dawgs! (Battle Hymn arranged by the legendary Jeff Simmons – Transcribed, Recorded, & Produced by Knox Summerour)
