The Widow in the Window is a studio album by trumpeter Kenny Wheeler recorded over three days in February 1990 and released on ECM later that year.[1] "Ana", the longest piece on the album, was originally written for Alexander von Schlippenbach's Berlin Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, which would eventually be recorded in 1989. "Ma Belle Hélène" is a calembour which refers to Wheeler's two sisters, Mabel and Helen.[2]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating " Kenny Wheeler's music occupies its own unique area between post bop and free jazz and virtually all of his recordings are recommended to adventurous listeners, including this one."[3]
