| Summary |
It's an epic collection; a six-movement suite inspired by the scenic splendor, historic legacy, and political controversies of the country's public landscapes. This set arrives shortly before Wadada Leo Smith's 75th birthday in December, which is being celebrated by, amongst other things, a cover story in the November issue of DownBeat, the most widely read jazz magazine in the world. |
