Customer Reviews and Comments
Cuneiform Records have wisely made an investment in trumpeter/composer Wadada Leo Smith: When it comes to Smith, fans have long known him to possess some invaluable qualities, qualities that guarantee him to be an artist of a very high order - vision, authenticity and effectiveness. Ever since the beginning of Smith's career, he has always followed his own singular ambitious path. Smith's newest offering, Heart's Reflections, with his group Organic is no different. Here he leads the group through nearly two hours of music-making on this double CD, producing what sounds like a late career masterpiece. Miles' electric period is an obvious precedent, but certainly the music herein is hardly a carbon copy of the then-revolutionary amalgamation of jazz, rock and funk of the early seventies. In addition to Smith's trumpet, the unusual instrumentation consists of four guitarists(!), two saxophonists, a violinist, two bassists (one electric, one acoustic), two laptop essayists, along with the more conventional rhythm section of drums and piano. Each of the musicians get plenty of room to stretch out, adding to this outstanding work. Heart's Reflections is a highlight of Smith's long career, a prime contender of 2011's 'best of,' and also likely to be another hugely popular release on Cuneiform. 4.5 stars.
