WADADA LEO SMITH - AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARKS

• wadada leo smith: america's national parks
      (2016, 2cd, usa, cuneiform)

Wadada Leo Smith, who recently turned 75, wrote a 28-page score for his Golden Quintet entitled "America's National Parks". A recording of the six movements of the suite can be found on this brand-new release on the Cuneiform Records label.

For the occasion, Wadada Leo Smith reconfigured his quartet, adding an extra voice.
Next to pianist Anthony Davis, bassist John Lindberg and drummer Pheeroan akLaff, cellist Ashley Walters joined the band.

The result is quite impressive.
