    Ian Wheeler was one of Trad Jazz's outstanding clarinet players yet remains something of an unsung hero. He first came to public notice as a member of Ken Colyer's Jazzmen which he joined in 1955 replacing Acker Bilk. This was what was known as Colyer's "Classic line-up". He had already developed a distinctive sound and superb inventiveness. He left Colyer to briefly form the Sims-Wheeler Vintage Jazz Band with trumpeter Ken Sims before being asked to join Chris Barber's band to replace the legendary Monty Sunshine. He was with Barber for 27 years. He took a brief break in the middle to co-lead Hefty Jazz with Keith Smith. This double-for-the-price-of-one compilation includes tracks with the various bands he played in plus a few projects he undertook. The musicians include Ken Colyer, Chris Barber, Rod Mason, Acker Bilk, Sammy Rimington and Dick Wellstood. Many of the tracks are previously unissued.

    Reed player Ian Wheeler first came to prominence when he replaced Acker Bilk in Ken Colyer’s band in 1954. He showed himself to be a player with a distinctive sound and style. He remained with Colyer throughout the fruitful period of the 1950s before leaving to form the Sims-Wheeler Vintage Jazz Band with trumpeter Ken Sims. His brief tenure in this band was brought to an end by an offer from Chris Barber for him to join the Chris Barber band to replace Monty Sunshine. Ian brought alto and soprano saxes as well as harmonica to the band which filled out the Barber band sound. Ian would spend 27 years with the Barber band, but took a break for a while working with Rod Mason and Keith Smith before returning in 1979 to join what was now the Chris Barber Jazz & Blues Band. This compilation sees Ian with a variety of different bands including special project albums he made and some ‘live’ recordings. Track 1 on disc 1, all the Chris Barber tracks, the Sims-Wheeler tracks and the Lake Records Jazz Band tracks have never been released before. It makes for a hugely varied and highly enjoyable recorded tribute to a very fine player.
