Kenny Wheeler I

Kenny Wheeler Quintet -By Myself
Kenny Wheeler Big Band - Part V - Know Where You Are
From Music for Large and Small Ensembles: ECM 1415/16 [Buy]

So here's the start of a Kenny Wheeler series. I could easily say too much about Mr Wheeler, so I'll try to say very little and let people just listen to the man's music.



To kick off, here's two tracks off his 1990 big band/small band double set Music for Large and Small Ensembles. Recorded in London and Oslo, musicians include Dave Holland (b), Peter Erskine (d), John Abercrombie (g) and John Taylor (p) - and that's just the core quartet ! This one is for Taxi Driver and Molo.

    GREAT. Thank you :) ... Wheeler is an amazing musician and composer. I'm not proud to say that I've not heard all of his work. But thank you for filling in the gaps.

    Peace!
