Kenny Wheeler, Lee Konitz, Dave Holland & Bill Frisell - Angel Song

"Destined to go down in history as a jazz classic" was the verdict with which The
Guardian greeted this album on its release in 1997, saying, "Wheeler's
compositions and four of the world's greatest improvisers make for a tranquil set
that rewards with every listening. This is beautiful, golden music."
'Angel Song' is among the apexes of the label's catalogue, uniting four masterimprovisers - each with a unique artistic identity - in an intimate, drummer-less
quartet session. Kenny Wheeler is the composer of the nine hauntingly lyrical
chamber- elaborations and endows them with his singular timbre on fugelhorn
and trumpet in expressive melodic exchanges with alto saxophonist Lee Konitz.
Dave Holland's bass-foundation is as compelling as ever, giving Bill Frisell all the
freedom for harmony-encompassing improvisation.
