Kenny Wheeler: It Takes Two!
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 ...

by Paul Olson

The results are spacious, calm, and at times broodingly pensive.Parricelli and ...
Kenny Wheeler: It Takes Two!
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 ...
