Hi Chris,
I have not heard Kenny Wheeler's version -- in fact, I wasn't aware he
had arranged it. I'll have to check it out sometime.
I was thinking more of Branford Marsalis's recording. I generally like
Branford, even on those occasions where he is shamelessly stealing
from Coltrane. But his version of _A Love Supreme_ is pretty weak.
Cheers,
- Darcy

All I am saying is that a works suitability for reinterpretation
(whether its arranging, covering, remixing, making mashups, or
something else entirely) bears absolutely no relation to its

Supreme_, and those that have tried have all failed very badly, in
my estimation.
Even Kenny Wheeler's version? It's pretty good, IMHO.
Though I completely agree with the sentiment.
