Kenny Wheeler: five of the jazz composer's greatest moments #jazz  #RIP #FT

Nice selection from Wheeler's music.
He played with lots of people I like (Frisell, Garbarek) and my introduction to him (and a lot of jazz) via his contributions to David Sylvian's 80s albums.
Never saw him live.

"John Fordham pays tribute to the late jazz composer by remembering some of the best works by a man who often underplayed his visionary abilities"
