This is Wiley's first acoustic jazz CD release. It is a collection of 11 classic jazz standards and has a sound reminiscent of the finest classic Jazz recordings with a fresh, modern approach.
Not usually at the forefront on most compositions, in the hands of Ken Wiley, the French Horn takes its rightful place as a lead instrument with its voice-like timbre and emotional nuance. Wiley captures the essence of the original compositions, but these versions by Wiley are set apart by his unique interpretations, arrangements and world class French Horn performance.
