		Leo achieves this with a system that deals with the music in a continuous and dramatic way, utilizing quite liberally many elements of theatre, theatre that comes about by certain location placements of the multitudes of instruments that he plays.
		Leo Smith, like many of the Chicago school (?) is a virtuoso musician, and a composer and arranger of startling magnitude.
		The strength of this group music is accomplished by the interchanged information indicated in the scores, the various tempos and dynamics, and the abilities of the trio to interpret the intentions through close listening.

	* Dusted Reviews - Wadada Leo Smith *
		Wadada Leo Smith has kept his cool by keeping just ahead of the curve, ears cognizant of the past, but also cocked expectantly to the future.
		The music is of the multifarious and sometimes inscrutable exploratory ilk that the Leo specializes in.
		While Smith’s career is hardly on the wane, this date feels like a misstep when pondered against what’s come prior.

		Hi Efren, The recent release of Reflectativity on Tzadik wasn't a re-issue; it was a new recording and as I recall fairly different in terms of improvisations (as well as having Malachi Favors on bass rather than, was it?, Wes Brown).
		I'm away from my LPs right now, but Smith had at least four LPs on the Kabell label, including a solo disc, the old recording of Reflectativity, Song of Humanity and something else I can't remember the name of.
		Complete with a twenty-eight page booklet featuring session photos and SUPERB tributes from musical associates such as George Lewis, Alvin Singleton, Larry Ochs, Anthony Davis, Bobby Naughton, Henry Kaiser and John Zorn, this is an essential collection from the peak period of one of Creative Music's most important composer/performers.
