"Destined to go down in jazz history as a true classic!": such was the Guardian's unequivocal verdict when the album was released in 1997. 'Angel Song' is indeed one of ECM's great recordings, the four musicians gathered in this intimate, drummerless session all possessing a strong and singular artistic identity.
Kenny Wheeler composed all nine chamber music-inspired pieces with their captivating lyrical charm, which he transcends with the highly personal timbre of his flugelhorn and trumpet in the expressive melodic exchanges he engages in throughout with alto saxophonist Lee Konitz. Dave Holland, with his double bass, provides the particularly inspired and convincing foundations for the ensemble, thus giving Bill Frisell complete freedom to embark on harmonically rich improvisations.
The album is being released on vinyl for the very first time as part of the Luminessence series, presented in a gatefold sleeve.
