Kenny Wheeler - Deer Wan

'Deer Wan' was recorded in July 1977 in Oslo and produced by Manfred Eicher. It's now reissued on 180g vinyl with a free download code included. Wheeler emerges a romanticist in the grand heroic mode. His compositions and trumpeting suggest an Olympian majesty. There is a grace and eloquence, as well as a purity of sound and purpose. -- Downbeat Personnel: Kenny Wheeler (trumpet, flugelhorn), Jan Garbarek (tenor and soprano saxophones), John Abercrombie (electric guitar, electric mandolin), Dave Holland (double bass), Jack DeJohnette (drums), Ralph Towner (12-string guitar)
