Jazz legends, Dave Holland and Norma Winstone, together with the versatile
London Vocal Project, present Vital Spark--an album featuring a collection of
Kenny Wheeler's final compositions that were sent over time to Pete Churchill
and brought to life through patient arrangement, deep listening, and mutual
trust.
'Vital Spark' captures a rare unity between jazz ensemble and choir, revealing a sound that's both unforced, delicate, reflective and full of Kenny's character and energy.
The music features new lyrics by Norma Winstone , alongside Wheeler's settings of poems by Stevie Smith, Lewis Carroll, and William Blake.
The result is unmistakably Kenny Wheeler: lyrical but unsentimental, harmonically rich yet spacious.
For Dave, Norma, and Pete, this project is not a retrospective but a personal, shared act of remembering and reinterpreting, shaped by decades of friendship, collaboration, and quiet reverence for one of the most singular voices in modern music.
