  | INGRID JENSEN / STEVE TRESELER ~ INVISIBLE SOUNDS: FOR KENNY WHEELER
WHIRLWIND 4729 (Barcode: 4055388386570) ~ CANADA ~ Jazz
Recorded: 2015 - 2016 Released: 2018
This is an album by a quintet co-led by Canadian Jazz trumpeter Ingrid JensenFind albums by this artist and American saxophonist Steve TreselerFind albums by this artist, with American pianist Geoffrey KeezerFind albums by this artist, bassist Martin WindFind albums by this artist and drummer Jon WikanFind albums by this artist. Two additional musicians participate on selected tracks. The album presents ten tracks, eight of which are compositions by British Jazz trumpeter / composer Kenny WheelerFind albums by this artist and the remaining tracks are composed one each by Jensen and Treseler.
As the title suggests, the album is a tribute to the great composing quality of Wheeler, which is plainly evident herein. Jensen has a sound and technique that mimic those of Wheeler pretty closely, the rest of the team are professional American Jazz musicians, obviously able to play the tunes, but not aspiring to reproduce the magic that Wheeler’s ensembles managed to create when he was aboard. Nevertheless, the music is brilliant enough to make the album worth listening to, and the album is a nice gesture honoring Wheeler’s exceptional compositions.
Overall, this is a tribute to Wheeler’s compositions, performed by professional musicians, who somehow lack the spark to make them sound as spectacular as they should. For Wheeler completists, this is a worthwhile addition to their collection.
