Presents the music of Kenny Wheeler and Friends
Head of Jazz at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Nick Smart, brings this quartet to Villars formed especially for the occasion. They present the music of the great Kenny Wheeler making ten years since his death in September 2014, and some music by some of the great musicians associated with Wheeler, including Dave Holland, Anders Jormin, John Taylor and Stan Sulzmann. The musicians - all connected with the Academy either still studying, recently graduated, or on the PhD programme - are some of the most in demand young musicians in London and across Europe.
