It seemed as if Kenny Wheeler set this record up to provide his sidemen with a chance to boost their reputations enormously. Wheeler sets up the CD with his swooping solo over the changes and then Keith Jarrett produces some of the most lyrical piano playing on record. His solo transition on the first track is one of the high points of the album. Dave Holland seems to have ears the size of a house for everything that he picks up and responds to and sometimes seems like a rock in the middle of all the swirling music around him. Jack DeJohnette has a great solo where he stays on his cymbals for so long that when he finally plays one of his toms it feels like finally stepping on firm ground after an atmoshperic ride. Wheeler's writing is consistantly original and beautiful throughout. ~ jerryexspresso





When this came out in the 70s, I bought a used vinyl copy and played it to death. Jarrett sounded so great--and who the heck was the trumpet player? Since, I've learned who Kenny Wheeler is. Oh, yes. As an inveterate fan of these two great artists, I can't say that either has ever made a better album. And that's saying--well, everything. It's beauty, passion, swing, a kaleidoscope of emotions and an emormous underlying tranquility as large as the ultimate oceanic truth played here. Yes, it has stood the test of time--imitated by legions, but still worthy of being played over and again. ~ Richard Ferrie





Wheeler likes to use word play with his song titles. Gnu High, Deer Wan, and so on. The creativity doesn't stop there. I purchased this when it came out on vinyl years and years ago and recently picked up the remaster on CD. The intuition between these musicians is on a level with Trane's quartet and Miles' Quintet of the 60's. That's quite a statement if you think about it, but it's true! It's a shame this was really just a pickup band made up of some of ECM's finest talent - probably their greatest rhythm section. Then again, this is the rhythm section that played in Miles band for a couple of years ( see The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions ) It's a shame it couldn't last and tour but with Jarrett on the keyboards, how could it? 





If you are a fan of Miles' last great quintet with Hancock, Carter, Shorter, and Williams - especially ESP - then you are going to love this session.  This is a fantastic recording, very cool and yet it has that unmistakeable ECM-ness about it. Buy buy buy! ~ Talking Wall
