Kenny Wheeler III: Variations

Kenny Wheeler Quartet - Kind Folk
From Angel Song: ECM 1607 [Buy]

Kenny Wheeler Big Band - Part II - For H. Part III - For Jan
From Music for Large and Small Ensembles: ECM 1415/16 [Buy]

Thierry Péala - Of Smiles Remembered
From Inner Traces - A Kenny Wheeler Songbook: naive Y266 102 [Buy]


Three different interpretations of Kenny's tune Kind Folk. The 1996 Angel Song version features the impossibly cool combination of Kenny with Lee Konitz (as), Bill Frisell (g) and Dave Holland (b).

The tune appeared six years earlier under the title "For H" - the second movement of The Sweet Time Suite, played by Kenny's British big band on Music for Large and Small Ensembles.

Recorded in Pernes les Fontaines, in southeast France in January 2000, the vocal version by French singer Thierry Péala is backed by Steve Arguelles on drums and Bruno Angelini on piano.
