Kenny wheelers "what now"

Anyone else enjoying this cd.The playing is so steller...ecspecially for no overdubs.Even hard believe that there were no 2nd takes,(?)The fact that there are no drums really leans on dave holland(double-bass) and john taylor(keyboards)Who is the tastiest player and never fails to amaze me.Wheeler and Potters horn work is exceptional too.I know not new cd,but very well recorded and a very worthy addition to the pile.(imho)

I agree too. I went on a buying binge last year and scooped up several Kenny Wheeler releases. I had an LP I purchased in the 70's by the trio Azimuth, "The Touchstone" that's excellent (it has Wheeler with Norma Winstone and Taylor). Another one of the cd's I picked up is of the same Trio (wheeler/Taylor/Winstone) called "Siren't Song", and another is Wheeler/Taylor "Where Do We Go From Herre?". All excellent.

So far everything I have with him involved is great (though I really favor Trumpet/Flugelhorn led jazz). I'll probably pick up more if his . . .
