Jed Wilson

Jed Wilson grew up in Gladstone, Oregon, and began studying piano at a young age. As a teenager, he was an active performer on the Portland, Oregon jazz scene, and won prestigious awards (including Downbeat Magazine's 'Best High School Jazz Soloist' honor three years in a row).

 Wilson received a bachelors degree in Jazz Performance from New England Conservatory in 2004. While still a student at NEC, he formed a long-standing musical partnership with renowned jazz vocalist (and NEC faculty member) Dominique Eade. The duo have toured widely, and in 2006 released a critically acclaimed CD that appeared on many of the year's top-ten album lists. In his review, Bill Beuttler of the Boston Globe wrote, "Wilson's piano work, skilled and subtle, made plain why a guy so young has become Eade's duo partner of choice."

More recently, Wilson has performed extensively with singer/songwriter Heather Masse (of The Wailin' Jennys); the association with Masse has resulted in two albums and a host of appearances across North America, including an appearance on NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion." He has also recorded or performed with Aoife O'Donovan (of Crooked Still), Sloan Wainwright, Nancy King, Jeremy Udden, and The Wild Band of Snee (featuring Grammy-nominated cellist Rushad Eggleston). He currently resides in Lovell, Maine.
