Kenny Wheeler: It Takes Two!

Read "It Takes Two!" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Con oltre cinquant'anni di attività professionale alle spalle, il trombettista Kenny Wheeler è da tempo un protagonista di spicco sulla scena jazz mondiale, in virtù di una voce strumentale nitida e inconfondibile, e una straordinaria abilità compositiva, che lo ha portato a scrivere temi memorabili e raffinati, soffusi di una gioiosa malinconia (l'ossimoro è una efficace ...

Kenny Wheeler: It Takes Two!

Read "It Takes Two!" reviewed by John Kelman


Kenny Wheeler's career has been almost singularly defined by its unpredictability, but It Takes Two! may be the trumpeter's biggest surprise yet. No stranger to unorthodox combinations, a two-guitar/bass lineup allows Wheeler's compositions to head in some unexpected directions. The material bears the melancholy lyricism that's been an unmistakable signature of his career. But It Takes ...
