Kenny Wheeler with the Dave Holland Quintet - Vortex (DVD)
Please enjoy this clip of Kenny Wheeler soloing during the song "Vortex," from the film "Dave Holland Quintet: Vortex," which also features Dave Holland (Bass), Robin Eubanks (Trombone), Steve Coleman (Alto Sax) and Marvin "Smitty" Smith (Drums).
This concert gem stars the Quintet at the peak of their musical maturity: merging passion and logic, spontaneity and group interplay with sparkling clarity. Each musician works as a cog in the delightful engine of swing, relating his phasing to the supple beat laid down by Holland and Smith.
Merging spontaneity and group interplay, the Dave Holland Quintet rivets their audience to every phrase that's played, and transports the listener to another world. Each musician works as a cog in the delightful engine of swing, relating his phrasing to Holland and Smith's supple beat. With all its unique inventiveness, the Quintet projects an utter melodic mellowness.
Without a piano, without a "standard" song repertoire and with straight-faced concentration, the Quintet creates palpable musical shapes using innovative themes and variations. For all its unique inventiveness, they project an absolute melodic mellowness on their tunes: Vortex, Homecoming and Wiguts Waits for Weights.
"... one of the most inspiring free-jazz players." -- Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz
