Abstract

The article focuses on the significance of Kenny Wheeler's 1976 album *Gnu High*, as reflected upon by UK keyboardist-composer Steve Lodder. Lodder shares his personal journey of discovering music during the mid-1970s, highlighting how the album introduced him to the lyrical style of pianist Keith Jarrett and the unique harmonic language of Wheeler's compositions. He describes the album's tracks, particularly "Heyoke," emphasizing the interplay between the musicians and the open, melodic sound that influenced his musical development. Lodder notes that while the album did not immediately impact his career, it profoundly shaped his understanding and appreciation of jazz. [Extracted from the article]
