RIP Kenny Wheeler 🎺🎺🇨🇦🇨🇦🎶🎶

[@paxwallace8324]

He's such an inspiration and was very nice to talk to the Two very lucky times I got to speak with him. RIP This is such an intimate glimpse of him in his busy prime in the 70s. Let's see 1977 he'd already released Gnu High on ECM with the great Keith Jarrett playing his compositions and David Holland Bassist extraordinare and legendary drummer Jack Dejohnette. On his Book Shelf C.S. Lewis, Mary Stewart, Complete Works of Shakespeare and Tolstoy's War and Peace. 🆒 Seriously he's one of my biggest influences.

Incrível! Arte em forma de música

I love the music of Kenny Wheeler. I prefered his quintet, quartet or duo work. My ear just don’t relate to big ensembles. I last saw Kenny at his 75th anniversary concert: + Lee Konitz, Dave Holland and John ‘Crombles’ Abercrombie. I think Crombles was standing in for Bill Frisell. Favourite KW albums if forced to say: *Double, Double You* *Wheeler & Konitz live at Birdland, Neuberg* *What Now* w. John Taylor, Holland, Chris Potter. *Azimuth* I could go on. Kenny And Lee Konitz have been enormous in my life. Only Norma left. But I’m lucky to have seen and heard them all. Their art is the soundtrack to my entire life.

I met John a couple of times in 2000s when I lived in Oslo... also Jan Erik... sadly all gone...

[@RocknJazzer]

He reminds me of Dennis Weaver in the 70s in both looks and even the voice. And Manfred Schoof reminds me of Charles Bronson.

Wow, thank you for this! amazing studio footage of the making of the first Azimuth album! With the divine Norma Winstone no less. Shame about the end bit being cut off. Is there any chance you could upload this to another place and share it in it's entirety?

[@orangefunk]

I believe it isn't Talent studio after all. Probably some rehearsal studio in the UK before they went out to Oslo. As an aside I moved to Oslo 15 years ago and lived literally 9 mins walk from where Talent was and had no idea.

It's great, thanks for posting it! but it's not the entire movie...what about the rest?

[@orangefunk]

If I post the whole thing ECM block it. Also it's only missing a minute... maybe less.

[@arvaborelius7269]

[@orangefunk]

@@arvaborelius7269 the 1977 Azimuth LP... the track "O" was played.. just the part where Norma starts to sing.

[@ferguscurrie5937]

Is that Paul Rogers on bass? Very rare footage if it is.

Why play a flugelhorn if your flugel sound is exactly like a trumpet? I don't get that.
