Very saddened to hear that the extraordinary trumpeter and composer Kenny Wheeler passed on today. I loved his music upon first hearing, and was fortunate to be a student when he was on faculty at the Banff Summer Jazz Workshop many years ago. In January 2010, I traveled to his home in the London suburb of Leytonstone, and spent the afternoon interviewing him for CBC Radios Jazz Profiles program. He was very thoughtful and candid with his answers - and extremely humble. What an original thinker. RIP, Sweet Kenny.
