- wadada leo smith's great lakes quartet: the chicago symphonies
(2021, 4cd, finland, tum records)
From the Tum Records website :
The Chicago Symphonies is a magnificent four-disc collection of extended compositions by Wadada Leo Smith´s Great Lakes Quartet in a celebration of Chicago and the Midwestern culture. The first three symphonies, "Gold," "Diamond" and "Pearl" are performed by Smith with three masters of creative music, saxophonist/flutist Henry Threadgill, bassist John Lindberg and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The fourth, "Sapphire Symphony - The Presidents and Their Vision for America," features saxophonist Jonathon Haffner with Smith, Lindberg and DeJohnette.
This definitely is no easy listening.
Quite interesting, though.
