In December 2013 Kenny Wheeler recorded what was to be his last album. SONGS FOR QUINTET, an inspirational session featuring Wheeler compositions of recent vintage (plus a fresh approach to 'Nonetheless', first heard on ANGEL SONG), was recorded in Abbey Road Studio with four of Kenny's favorite players. Stan Salzmann, John Parricelli, Chris Laurence and Martin France work together marvelously as an interactive unit and provide support for the tender and lyrical flugelhorn of the bandleader.
