I was confused by this record when I bought it recently, largely by the mismatch between Wheeler's serene brass band sensibilities and avant garde-ist Evan Parker blowing the living shit out of his horn in full turbo, circular breathing mayhem mode. Having listened to it every day for ten days, I've concluded it's one of the most musically adventurous and brilliant records I've ever heard.

Late-night : This duet setting of "Kind Folks" by the great, late, underappreciated trumpet player and composer by pianist Ernesto Jodos and Mariano Loiacono on trumpet, on an obscure Argentinian label, is absolutely exquisite. theloniousrecordsargentina.ban

Kenny Wheeler - GNU HIGH
Fast 50 Jahre ist diese großartige Aufnahme alt und an keiner Ecke angestaubt… Die Atmosphäre ist so dicht und lebendig - man meint, eine Live-Aufnahme zu hören und vermisst den Applaus.

Just discovered the Rainer Bruninghaus album Freigeweht. What joy, one of my favourite drummers Jon Christensen and Kenny Wheeler is in peak form and extraordinary (he was an improv God). Dreamy free-flowing music, but with a subtle edge as it slices through the conscious mind. Perfect accompaniment to Monkey Pick tea. open.spotify.com/track/35DC8wj

(piano). may have been influenced by AH’s ensemble work (eg. moving away from the staid quartet/quintet format). And there is certainly continuity of musicians, eg.

Remarkable study of with in the background. After Kenny’s , featuring Konitz (first time they played together well into their 70s!!), that group toured initially sticking to Angel Song material tho’ LK would do an unaccompanied standard like . But later they co-formed a quintet in all but name, incorporating Lee’s compositions (mostly very canny reworkings of : eg, Thingin’ = in A-flat but modulating to DMaj.)

The late & showed how opposites attract. LK was typically at home with the changes of the great American . KW played almost exclusively his own work & those of his closest musical associates (eg. pianist ). LK’s style is linear & often densely chromatic. KW’s work has a feel to it. They came together late, almost as unlikely bedfellows. The results are of the very highest quality. Peerless. Lucky to see them together twice.
