Recorded at Soop Studios, Los Angeles; Vision XII, New York City (06/13/2008); Firehouse 12, New Haven, CT (04/17/2009).
Wadada Leo Smith is a well-respected trumpeter and composer working in
avant-garde jazz and improvisation. He was an early member of Chicago's
legendary AACM collective, joining in 1967 and co-founded the Creative
Construction Company, a trio with Leroy Jenkins and Anthony Braxton in
the late 60s. In 1971 Smith formed his own label, Kabell, for whom he
recorded a number of albums considered classics of their kind and which
were collected and reissued by John Zorn's Tzadik label in 2004 on a
lavishly praised box set entitled The Kabell Years. He has
recorded additional albums on the Tzadik label as well as for ECM,
Black Saint, Nessa, Pi and others. This album features two of Wadada's
all-star groups, one on each CD. On disc one there is Wadada Leo
Smith's Golden Quintet: Wadada Leo Smith: trumpet; Vijay Iyer: piano,
synthesizer; John Lindberg: bass; Pheeroan AkLaff: drums; Don Moye:
drums. On disc two there is the recorded debut of Wadada Leo Smith's
Organic: Wadada Leo Smith: trumpet; Michael Gregory: electric guitar;
Brandon Ross: electric guitar; Nels Cline: 6- and 12-string electric
guitar; Lamar Smith: electric guitar Okkyung Lee: cello; Skuli
Sverrisson: electric bass; John Lindberg: acoustic bass; Pheeroan
AkLaff: drums. The Golden Quintet straddles the line between modern/avant jazz and jazz with some electric touches. Organic is fully electric and a different beast; a four guitar, creative, bad-ass beast with slinky grooves.
