Additional Information
African-American trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith is unquestionably one of the most prolific artists of our time. As a leader, he has recorded some fifty albums, not counting his major collaborations with visionary saxophonist and clarinetist Anthony Braxton, the Creative Construction Company, drummer Andrew Cyrille, guitarist Henry Kaiser, bassist Bill Lswell, pianist Matthew Shipp, saxophonist Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre, violinist Leroy Jenkins and saxophonist and genius composer John Zorn. In 2013, Wadada Leo Smith’s Ten Freedom Summers has been Pulitzer prize finalist. So he comes back to Montreal in ordrer to create some new music based on the material for a trumpet-piano album recorded previously with Amina Claudine Myers. This time, Swiss pianist Sylvie Courvoisier will be at his side to play the material from this album, entitled Central Park’s Mosaic of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens. Alain Brunet joined him at home for this PAN M 360 video interview.
