Windmill Tilter: The Story of Don Quixote is an album by trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, his first as a leader. It was recorded in March 1968 and was released in 1969 by Fontana Records. On the album, Wheeler, credited as "Ken Wheeler," is joined by the John Dankworth Orchestra. In 2010, the album was reissued by BGO Records in remastered form.[1][2][3] In 2021 it was reissued on vinyl as part of Decca's British Jazz Explosion series, remastered and re-cut from the original master tapes by Gearbox Records.
Windmill Tilter came about when Wheeler was unable to play for several months due to dental issues, and Dankworth, with whom Wheeler had toured, suggested that he put together material for an album.[4] The recording, which was inspired by Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, was John McLaughlin's last session before his departure for the United States, and was Dave Holland's first recording.[5][6]
