Description:

Der Gitarrist Jason Keiser aus der Bay Area wollte die Musik des Trompeters und Komponisten Kenny Wheeler mit grenzenlosem Abenteuergeist und der nÃ¶tigen Nuancierung interpretieren, um dessen einzigartiges Werk zu wÃ¼rdigen. Bei den Vorbereitungen fÃ¼r Kind of Kenny war er besonders von Wheelers Vorliebe fÃ¼r ungewÃ¶hnliche Instrumentenkonfigurationen fasziniert. Zusammen mit dem einzigartigen Meistergitarristen John Stowell als rhythmische und harmonische Basis des Ensembles engagierte Keiser die lyrischen ImprovisationskÃ¼nstler, den Trompeter Erik Jekabson und den Saxophonisten Michael Zilber sowie die SÃ¤ngerin Danielle Wertz, die als hornartige Melodiestimme und als SÃ¤ngerin in Wheeler & Norma Winstones â??For Jan.â?? fungierte. -

Seeking to interpret trumpeter/composer Kenny Wheeler's music with the boundless sense of adventure and nuance needed to honor his unique writing, Bay-Area guitarist Jason Keiser was particularly intrigued by Wheeler's penchant for assembling unusual instrumental configurations as he made preparations for Kind of Kenny. Teaming with the one-of-a-kind, master guitarist John Stowell as the ensemble's rhythmic and harmonic base, Keiser enlisted lyrical improvisors, trumpeter Erik Jekabson & saxophonist Michael Zilber, and vocalist Danielle Wertz, acting as a horn-like melodic voice and as a singer on Wheeler & Norma Winstone's "For Jan." "There are many young musicians who are making jazz connoisseurs sit up and take notice with their debut albums. This is the case with the guitarist Jason Keiser... " Jazz'N'More (Switzerland).... a heartfelt tribute to Kenny Wheeler featuring inspired, compassionate guitar soloing by the leader and John Stowell. The intricate and intuitive interplay... brings to mind the pivotal collaborations between Ralph Towner and John Abercrombie. - Minor 7th Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
