Wingspan is the third studio album by American jazz pianist Mulgrew Miller with a quintet of other musicians. The album was released on May 11, 1987 by Landmark Records.[2][3]
Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic wrote that "The emphasis on this quintet album is on Mulgrew Miller's compositions; five of the seven numbers (all but Kenny Garrett's "Sonhos Do Brasil" and the standard "I Remember You") are by the pianist/leader. Miller is joined by bassist Charnett Moffett, drummer Tony Reedus, vibraphonist Steve Nelson and altoist Garrett (who plays flute on one song); percussionist Rudy Bird guests on three numbers. The inventive solos on the fairly complex material and the attractive sound of the ensembles make this a worthy release".[4]
