1997 Album by 4 Master Improvisers on Double LP!
First Time on Vinyl!
Part of ECM's Audiophile Vinyl Series: Luminessence!
Released in 1997, Angel Song is among the apexes of the ECM catalog, uniting four master improvisers – 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 flugelhorn 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.
The album is released on vinyl for the very first time as part of the ECM Luminessence Series and is presented as a tip-on gatefold jacket. 2 LP set.
