ECM Luminessence – Kenny Wheeler “Gnu High” (1975)
April 17, 2023 @ 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
ECM. Edition of Contemporary Music.
3 letters has the major influence for all jazz lovers. For us too, at the Rhinoceros bar, it is a sound, an image, an approach, melodies, atmospheres which today more than ever give us emotions.
We are very happy and proud to be able to collaborate with this legendary label to offer you an exclusive listening session as part of the reissue of 2 major LP’s!
Luminessence, ECM’s new audiophile vinyl-reissue series, is a kaleidoscope, shedding light on the jewels of the label’s deep catalog in elegant, high-quality editions. The series features albums that have changed perceptions of creative music making, albums now heralded as classics. Some are offered in exclusive facsimile editions, others framed in high-grade gatefolds that include new liner notes offering historical context and fresh perspectives, while again others have been long out of print or even never before released on vinyl. Many of the re-issues are cut from the original analog master tapes.
Launching the series are Kenny Wheeler’s Gnu High and Nana Vasconcelos’s Saudades, which were recorded in 1975 and 1979 respectively and are indicative of the label’s reach from the outset.
We will listen to A and B sides of Kenny Wheeler “Gnu High”

The two albums presented in their Luminessence format will be for sale that day.
