Wilcox originally hails from Boylston, Massachusetts and began taking piano lessons at the age

of four. He grew up with a mix of classical, grunge and classic rock in the house, only

discovering jazz while playing trombone in the concert band. His fate was sealed when he heard

Herbie Hancock’s Takin’ Off for the first time. He became the latest in a long line of piano

students nurtured by the local education legend Dick Odgren, and soon came under the spell of

his two primary influences: Hill and McCoy Tyner.

Wilcox met his most formative mentors through two key educational experiences: the Litchfield

Jazz Camp and the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. The pianist found a

home on the Hartford scene and has been based there for nearly a decade. He’s received

valuable lessons and encouragement from the likes of Rick Germanson, Orrin Evans, Stanley

Cowell, and Ralph Peterson.
