Wadada Leo Smith: Tabligh
by AAJ Italy Staff
Parlare dei numerosi punti di contatto fra la musica di questo ottimo album del trombettista Wadada Leo Smith e i capolavori elettrici di Miles Davis dei primi anni settanta potrebbe sembrare riduttivo per l’arte sopraffina di Smith, ma non è affatto così. Questo gruppo denominato 'Golden Quartet' ha infatti la competenza tecnica e la personalità per ...
Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet: Tabligh
by Nic Jones
Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith has always carved out his own territory in the music and Tabligh is one of the best realizations of his work on record.

But 2000's Golden Quartet seemed to mark not just a new standing band for the trumpeter but an exciting new ...
Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet: Tabligh
by Dan McClenaghan
For Tabligh, trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith has reassembled a Golden Quartet to blow, very Miles Davis-like, on a follow-up recording to Year of the Elephant (Pi Recordings, 2002).
