	Kenny Wheeler - Biography - AOL Music
		Wheeler was born in 1930 in St. Catherine's (near Toronto), Ontario, and began playing trumpet at age 12.
		Through the latter, Wheeler was invited to join German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach's groundbreaking free jazz big band the Globe Unity Orchestra in 1970, an association Wheeler maintained for years to come.
		Wheeler turned out a series of excellent ECM albums, including 1977's Deer Wan and 1983's Double, Double You (that year, Wheeler also began a four-year run with the Dave Holland Quintet).

	E.J.N. - KENNY WHEELER
		The same critics, however, have tended to be less vocal in their support for the trio Azimuth (Wheeler, John Taylor and Norma Winstone) whose ECM albums are distinguished by their subtlety and require repeated close listening for full appreciation.
		Wheeler’s second ECM date was the 1977 recording Deer Wan (ECM 1102), which featured Jan Garbarek, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and Ralph Towner.
		Kenny is an active music educator as shown by his presence on the faculty at the Canadian Banff Workshop and by his involvement in international seminars.

		It's a great band, and indeed one might argue that although Wheeler is clearly the leader (he composes all the tunes) the real star of the show is Lee Konitz, who is in absolutely peak form.
		Kenny Wheeler's album begins with Bill Frisell playing an unaccompanied melody line, backing it with a harmony that is sparse but telling.
		Wheeler reminds me of Miles in the lyricism of his sound and his uncommon self-discipline.

	Kenny Wheeler
		For years I‘ve admired the great Canadian musician Kenny Wheeler because of his fantastic compositions and arrangements, his incredible sound on both the trumpet and flugelhorn, his superb recordings as well as his wide open artistic vision.
		Kenny was born in Toronto, Canada in 1930 into a musical family.
		Kenny Wheeler is one of our great masters of improvised music and unfortunately has not been given even close to his due possibly because he developed his musical artistry mostly on the European jazz scene.

	REVIEWS: JAZZ - Kenny Wheeler Queen Elizabeth Hall London oooo9 Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		So relaxed was Wheeler that he forgot his score for the suite and had to go off stage to collect it.
		From the opening number, "Kind Folk", all the Wheeler trademarks were there: bold, romantic melodies with big open intervals; strong rhythmic riffs on the bass and piano syncopating against the time signature; and chord changes that slip through major keys, suggesting a comforting resolution, but settling in a minor key.
		Wheeler sounded warm and blowsy on flugelhorn, a mix of floridity and fluidity, and showed that he was still capable, despite the occasional fluff, of the old directness on trumpet.

	Amazon.ca: Deer Wan: Music: Kenny Wheeler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Wheeler's performance on the album, which runs the gamut here from the melancholy to the brash, is among his best.
		Wheeler's Deer Wan is perhaps the best showcase for his dual talents of writing and playing.
		Wheeler's charts are excellent, particularly the CD's opening cut, Peace for Five, whose intro is a masterpiece in itself.

	Kenny Wheeler \| It Takes Two!
		Kenny Wheeler’s music may be likened to a waking dream—the cool, ethereal alternative to the incendiary abandon of his peers.
		Much of Wheeler’s solo work seems a world away from the bustling sounds of '70s London, favoring a light, airy romanticism and eschewing the strident revolution so imminent to his generation.
		Wheeler’s finely crafted, beautiful music is also strangely detached, as if buoyed in its own separate musical sphere.

	Kenny Wheeler - John Taylor
		Wheeler è sempre capace di stupire mentre Taylor con il suo stile vigoroso e ritmico crea uno sfondo che fa risaltare l'ampia gamma armonica e le sfumature ritmiche.
		Remarkably, Wheeler and Taylor infrequently perform as a duo, which made their concert one of the most anticipated at the 2003 Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
		Throughout the set, Wheeler's patented technique and propensity to catch the listener off-guard in mid-solo with a well-timed tangent was simply spellbinding.

	CD Review of Kenny Wheeler - Dream Sequence on Psi Records @ jazzreview.com
		On Dream Sequence Kenny Wheeler, this time completely eschewing trumpet in favour of flugelhorn, demonstrates his distinct language in a series of settings that range from solo to sextet.
		Accompanying Wheeler on various tracks are old friend Stan Sulzmann on tenor sax, Ray Warleigh on alto sax and flute, John Parricelli on guitar, Chris Laurence on bass and Tony Levin on drums.
		Even Parricelli, who is the most recent addition to Wheeler’s circle of musical friends, fits the programme with a sound that combines the harmonic invention of John Abercrombie and the textural capabilities of Bill Frisell.

		The magic is in the interplay between Kenny Wheeler and Chris Potter (on flugelhorn and tenor sax respectively) but that's to take nothing away from either John Taylor on piano or Dave Holland on double bass.
		Wheeler wrote the entire album and while there's not a dud to be found, I do have my favourite songs: "Iowa City" opens the set, "The Lover Mourns", as the title suggests, is a gloriously sad ballad and "Verona" is so engaging, you don't even notice that it's nine and a half minutes long.
		Kenny has never sounded stronger and the tunes have that wistful bite of the ECM material, but with a real coppery shine.

		Kenny Wheeler is a marsterful player and composer and this CD is his most 'Wheelerish'.
		The contrast with Wheeler is wonderfully effective as his sound and tone, simply bites with authority.

		He consequently came to be one of the major solo voices in the Dankworth orchestra, and during the end of his stay recorded his first album as a leader Windmill Tilter (Fontana), which featured compositions for big band based on Cervantes' Don Quixote stories.
		In 1971, Anthony Braxton, impressed by Wheeler's abilities to play the demanding charts on the session for The Complete Braxton (Freedom), invited him to join his group.
		The album was viewed, at the time of its release, as the most complete statement of Wheeler's musical intentions, and said one writer: "Garbarek may very well be the trumpeter's ideal front-line partner...a kind of asceticism informs their playing; when they are heard in tandem its impact is redoubled".

	Kenny Wheeler: Song For Someone / What Now? / Where Do We Go From Here?
		Wheeler’s composition work is astonishing as it effortlessly bridges the sounds and styles of modern jazz to free improvisation in a way that does not sound either forced or naive.
		Wheeler states in the brief liners: “The idea behind this band was to try and get special musicians from and into different areas of jazz to play together and to try to write music especially for them.”
		Wheeler makes it all seem so simple: beautiful melodies, rich harmonies and a great band without a drummer to rein in the rhythms.

		Wheeler stayed on flugelhorn on the first set, but switched to trumpet later.
		This was the first time that I've seen Wheeler live and it was a pleasure.
		Wheeler took a solo with some nice comping by Abercrombie where he played with both hands on the fret board.

	Sunnyside Records: It Takes Two! by Kenny Wheeler
		Exceptional though it is, it should come as no surprise; Kenny Wheeler has been making music indelibly permeated with these attributes for a lifetime.
		Although naturally reticent and self - effacing, Wheeler has the steely inner drive and vision of the true artist and has created his own unique harmonic system, which is studied in music colleges and academies around the world.
		Taylor shares many of Wheeler’s qualities, and has brought his piano playing to an extraordinary peak, and he too is a fine and versatile composer.

	CD Review of Bob Brookmeyer & Kenny Wheeler - Island on Artists House @ jazzreview.com
		Brookmeyer and Wheeler have been working in jazz so long that they recognize a producer who is committed to the music, rather than to the business.
		It wouldn’t be overstatement to say that Brookmeyer and Wheeler are at the top of their form, and their teaming-up creates a level of interaction and counterpoint that’s instantaneous once they have introduced a tune with its characteristic melody.
		It becomes evident that Wheeler and Brookmeyer share the same method for the shaping of their solos or the presentation of melody: that is, through horizontal linearity as they color the flow of notes that lead to a final pooling, similar to the streaming of a river.

	ITG 2002 Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor
		Wheeler, introduced by Laurie Frink as her “personal hero,” skipped effortlessly around tunes like Summer Night, Pure and Simple, and Between Moons.
		For about half the program Wheeler was playing a beautiful flugelhorn in a brushed silver finish.
		On one occasion Wheeler played loud notes into the piano, with pedal down, so that sympathetic vibration started it ringing and building into an other-worldly chord, then Taylor started plucking individual notes to pick out the harmony.

		He also played jazz-rock, in particular on recordings with Mike Gibbs (1969-75) and Bill Bruford (1977), and as a member of the United Jazz and Rock ensemble (from 1978).
		Although Kenny devotes much attention to composition and writes all of the material that he records as a leader, his work as a trumpeter and flugelhorn player is more important.
		His playing is well suited to what may be called the house style of the ECM record label; it is clear, relaxed, lyrical, and marked by a wide ranging harmonic and rhythmic imagination.

	Bagatellen: Kenny Wheeler - Song for Someone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		At the time of Song for Someone's recording, Kenny Wheeler was on the rise as a very capable trumpeter and composer in some of Britain's various improvised music circles.
		His early 70s music was at a point not yet fully reconciled with its influences, but distinctive enough for fans to know they were onto something special.
		Bailey's guitar and Parker's not-yet-refined soprano sound utterly rebellious in their contributions, almost as if they are along to crash the party, but Wheeler's written transition from these introspective wanderings to the structurally sound is, in a word, seamless.

	Kenny Wheeler : Gnu High - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Trumpeter Kenny Wheeler's debut as a leader for ECM is a memorable quartet set with pianist Keith Jarrett (one of his best recordings as a sideman), bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
		The group plays three of Wheeler's originals (including the 21-and-a-half-minute "Heyoke") and each of the musicians sounds quite inspired.
		Wheeler's wide range, beautiful tone, and searching style match particularly well with Jarrett's rhythmic and bluish accompaniment.

		For whatever reason, trumpeter/flugelhornist/composer Kenny Wheeler seems to be overlooked when one thinks of the greats of this music.
		As a frame of reference, Wheeler states that the idea behind the record was to "try and get special musicians from and into different areas of jazz to play together and to try to write music especially for them".
		Commencing with Wheeler's trademark melancholic introspection, "Ballad Two" eventually finds a mid-tempo pace that features a clairvoyant trombone solo from Horler and three brilliant minutes from Lamont's emotive tenor.

		Kenny Wheeler has a stunning lyric imagination, apparent in the burnished luster of his flugelhorn and the subtle structures of his compositions.
		It’s present too in the way he picks his musical partners and constructs situations that bring out the very best in them.
		Wheeler’s lines seem to dance on Taylor’s limpidly fluid piano like sunlight on water, while Potter blends a muscular assertiveness with Wheeler’s reflective tunes.
