Jack DeJohnette: Drums
Wadada Leo Smith: Trumpet, Flugelhorn

Two creative music legends who share a remarkable spiritual connection in their first duo outing. Originally proposed to ECM in 1979 and rejected, this rare musical treasure is a project that has been brewing for thirty years. Featuring six new compositions by one of the most consistently brilliant composer/performers out of the legendary AACM, and telepathic interplay by two virtuoso instrumentalists who have been pushing the musical envelope since the 1960s, Red Trumpet is one of the highlights of this or any other year. Recorded at Bill Laswell's New Jersey studio, the sound is impeccable and the music incendiary.

Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith is one of the most fascinating players in American avant-garde jazz. Perhaps only Miles Davis was more interested in exploring the spaces between notes -- and Smith has spent many years exploring Davis' electric music in Yo Miles!, the group he co-leads with guitarist Henry Kaiser. He's recorded in just about every conceivable setting, from the solo trumpet excursions heard on Kabell Years: 1971-1979 to big bands, and his latest disc is, in a couple of different ways, another facet of his fascination with Miles Davis. He's partnered up with drummer Jack DeJohnette, who played in Davis' band from 1969-1972 but who also backed the initial lineup of Smith's Golden Quartet. And one of the compositions here, "Red Trumpet," seems to be named in tribute to Davis' famous horn, while the opening cut, "America, Pts. 1, 2, 3," quotes from Davis' solo on "Concierto de Aranjuez" from Sketches of Spain. That's only part of the picture, of course. Smith and DeJohnette are highly individual voices, unique and immediately recognizable on their respective instruments and endlessly creative and inventive, and throughout this album they explore melody, rhythm, and pure sound in a symbiotic duet that's some of the best music either man has made. The austere stillness at the heart of Smith's music is anchored and emphasized by DeJohnette's powerful mastery of the drum kit, adding up to a record that deserves to be placed alongside Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell's Musessions in the avant-jazz pantheon. ~ Phil Freeman, All Music Guide



Wadada Leo Smith

Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Dec 18, 1941 in Leland, MS
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Modern Creative, Avant-Garde, Modern Free, Free Jazz, Avant-Garde Jazz

A consistently adventurous trumpeter who has stuck to playing avant-garde jazz throughout his career, Leo Smith's dry, introverted style (which makes extensive use of space) is a strong contrast to the more jubilant flights of Lester Bowie. Smith originally played drums, mellophone, and French horn before settling on trumpet. He gained early experience performing in R&B groups and played in an Army band while serving in the military. By 1967, Leo Smith was a member of Chicago's AACM. He soon helped to found the Creative Construction Company, an innovative trio with violinist Leroy Jenkins and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton that toured Europe in the late '60s. Smith, who was involved in making the documentary film See the Music in 1970, formed the New Dalta Ahkri in New Haven, CT, an influential if under-documented band that at times included Henry Threadgill, Anthony Davis, and Oliver Lake. Smith studied ethnomusicology in the mid-'70s at Wesleyan, played with Braxton in 1976, and recorded with Derek Bailey's Company. He has also freelanced with his own diverse groups during the past several decades. After becoming a Rastafarian in the 1980s, he changed his name to Wadada Leo Smith. He began teaching at Cal Arts in 1993. Leo Smith, who founded the Kabell label in 1971, has also recorded for Freedom, Moers, ECM, Nesssa, FMP, Black Saint, Nessa, and Sackville in settings ranging from unaccompanied solos to a big band.
