Description
From theLuminessence Series.
A vinyl reissue, in ECM’s new audiophileLuminessenceseries, for Kenny Wheelers sensational ECM leader debut. Recorded in New York in 1975, and produced by Manfred Eicher,Gnu Highbrought Canadian trumpeter Wheeler to a new level of international acclaim, for both his impassioned playing and his profoundly lyrical writing. Here Kenny is fronting an extraordinary quartet, with Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette, all masterful improvisers who had shaped their intuitive collective understanding as members of Miles Daviss groups.
What you hear, says Jack DeJohnette, is the spontaneity of the moment. Dave Holland notes thatGnu High had this wonderful combination of the form and the shape and the harmony of Kennys tunes but then this really free way of interpreting them. The albums gatefold sleeve includes new liner notes by Kennys friend, colleague and biographer Nick Smart. via Label
