Kenny Wheeler non ce l'ha fatta. Ecco il tweet di addio di Dave Holland, a lungo patner del trombettista canadese:Dave Holland @TheDaveHolland Thinking about my dear friend Kenny Wheeler who passed away today. A beautiful spirit that lives on in his music & in our memory. 7:58 PM - 18 Sep 2014 La notizia postata da Peter Hum su Ottawacitizen: Trumpeter and composer Kenny Wheeler, who was raised in Toronto and beloved in Canada despite having lived in London, England, for the last 60 years, died Thursday. He was 84.Some months ago, Wheeler was moved to a nursing home. More recently, he was hospitalised. His friend and long-time collaborator Norma Winstone emailed me earlier this week, after visiting Wheeler last week: “News of Kenny is not too good. He is back in hospital, after being in a nursing home for a while. I went to see him last Friday and he is very frail. I am sure he is grateful for all the messages of love and support he has received.”
