Music for Large & Small Ensembles

Album by Kenny Wheeler

Music for Large & Small Ensembles is a studio album by Canadian trumpeter-composer Kenny Wheeler, released in 1990. The album combines modern jazz composition with large-ensemble orchestration and intimate small-group passages, alternating written ensemble textures and spaces for improvisation, and represents a later-career large-scale compositional statement in Wheeler's discography that bridges big-band and chamber-jazz approaches.
