Deer Wan is an album by Kenny Wheeler recorded in July 1977 and released on ECM the following year. The lineup features saxophonist Jan Garbarek, guitarist John Abercrombie, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette, with guitarist Ralph Towner appearing on one track.
Reception[edit]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states "Kenny Wheeler's beautiful sound on trumpet and his wide range are well-displayed on his four compositions, three of which are given performances over ten minutes long... Wheeler emphasizes lyricism and romantic moods on this fine set of original music."[1]
