WHEELER KENNY/DOUBLE DOUBLE YOU

Descripción

CANADIAN TRUMPETER KENNY WHEELER WAS BOTH A MAJOR JAZZ COMPOSER AND A SOLOIST GIVEN TO FREE FLIGHTS THRIVING ON THE CREATIVE TENSION BETWEEN LYRICISM AND FIERY INTERPLAY. MUSICIANS LOVED THE CHALLENGES IMPLIED IN HIS WRITING AS IS APPARENT IN EVERY MINUTE OF THIS 1983 SESSION. WHEELER AND MICHAEL BRECKER MAKE A VERY FINE MUTUALLY-INSPIRING FRONTLINE AND DOUBLE DOUBLE YOU ALSO DRAWS UPON SEVERAL LONG-ESTABLISHED CREATIVE RELATIONSHIPS. WHEELER AND HOLLAND HAD BEEN CLOSE MUSICAL ASSOCIATES SINCE THE 1960S. HOLLAND AND DEJOHNETTE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES AS ONE OF THE GREAT RHYTHM SECTIONS IN MILES DAVISS BAND AND ON MANY ECM DISCS (INCLUDING KENNYS GNU HIGH AND DEER WAN). AND WHEELER AND TAYLOR WERE FOREVER IN EACH OTHERS GROUPS AT THE TIME OF THIS RECORDING ALSO PLAYING IN THE TRIO AZIMUTH.FEATURED ARTISTSKENNY WHEELER TRUMPET FLUGELHORNMIKE BRECKER TENOR SAXOPHONEJOHN TAYLOR PIANODAVE HOLLAND BASSJACK DEJOHNETTE DRUMS
