Warmly expressive
work from trumpeter Kenny Wheeler - a set that's got the same depth of tone as
his work for other labels, but which has a bit of a different feel as well. The
record has maybe a bit more bite - not necessarily on Wheeler's trumpet or
flugelhorn, the latter of which still retains its wonderfully airy sound - but
instead on the overall conception, which makes careful but creative use of
other group members - especially John Taylor on piano and Dave Holland on bass,
as well as Billy Elgart on drums, and Stan Sulzmann on soprano, tenor, and
flute. All tunes are originals by Wheeler, and really lovely ones at that - and
titles include "Gigolo", "The Little Fella", "Miold
Man", "We Salute The Night", and "Everybody's Song But My
Own". © Dusty Groove,

The return to
light of a true gem by modern jazz master Kenny Wheeler. Flutter By, Butterfly
was recorded in 1987 and originally published by Soul Note in 1988. Wheeler's
visionary musical concepts develop through the interplay of this stellar
quintet. A wide-open space for dense and lyrical dialogues between the leader's
flugelhorn and cornet and Stan Sulzman's reeds, John Taylor's painterly
harmonies and the Dave Holland, Billy Elgart floating rhythm section. ~ Juno
