USA:Ingrid Jensen & Steve Tresler - Invisible Sounds: For Kenny Wheeler (Whirlwind Recordings 2018)


Invisible Sounds: For Kenny Wheeler

For trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and saxophonist/ clarinetist Steve Treseler, paying tribute to the late Kenny Wheeler was a calling. 'Ingrid and I are both devoted Kenny fans and we both had the opportunity to work with him in person,'says Treseler. 'Invisible Sounds' reinterprets works from his prolific catalog. Ingrid s band - Geoffrey Keezer (piano), Martin Wind (bass) and Jon Wikan (drums) - was playing at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Idaho, so they booked two nights at Seattle's Royal Room, as well as the studio session. Between the shows they recorded the album (with guest saxophonist Christine Jensen and vocalist Katie Jacobson). The energy of those performances is brought together here.
