sidewinder Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just perusing the lineup on this compilation of the 70s cult BBC kids cartoon series and I see that one 'Ken Wheeler' is credited on trumpet, with a variety of other jazzers including Ray Swinfield on flute. Always liked the incidental music on this series ! (sort of 'Curried Jazz meets Sesame Street'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I've seen a short BBC documentary on Kenny Wheeler made in 1976 where he discusses his various activities as a musician. Back then, he spent a lot of time playing in and rehearsing groups for non-jazz recordings: TV shows, commercials, etc. It was an economic necessity.

It was a short film done for the BBC's 'Omnibus' series. In fact, part of the film shows Kenny getting on a tube train on his way to one of these sessions. There's also nice footage of a Big Band radio session done at Maida Vale for 'BBC Jazz Club'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
