Rarely glimpsed in public, the musicians’ grapevine is a wonder of efficiency, delivering timely information that can profoundly shape an artist’s life and career.Guitarist Dan Wilson’s emergence over the past decade as one of jazz’s most soulfully incisive guitarists can be traced directly to drummer Carmen Intorre Jr., who was working with the late Philadelphia guitar legend Pat Martino in 2014.Joey DeFrancesco, the Philly multi-instrumental wonder who almost singlehandedly revived the popularity of the Hammond B3 organ as a teenage phenomenon in the late 1980s, was getting ready to launch a new combo and asked Intorre if there were any guitarists he’d recommend.Intorre dropped Wilson’s name. DeFrancesco, who died last August at age 51,  dutifully checked the guitarist out on YouTube and picked up the phone. “When I got the first call I was deer hunting, just getting ready to go into the woods,” said Wilson, who lives in Akron, Ohio. “I see a number from Phoenix and thought it was...

But 38 degrees is still mighty cold, if you do a polar plunge.” (Joe did!) “Interesting fact: Since the water is warmer than the air, the ...
