Our Take

WADADA LEO SMITH, the legendary avant-garde trumpeter, has once again raised the bar with his latest album "Trumpetin." If you thought you knew what a trumpet could do, think again because Smith is here to blow your mind (and your eardrums).

From the moment you press play, you are transported to another dimension where only the sound of Smith's trumpet reigns supreme. Each note is like a musical puzzle, with Smith expertly piecing together a sonic masterpiece that is as captivating as it is unpredictable.

The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you from moments of serene beauty to chaotic cacophony in the blink of an eye. Smith's mastery of his instrument is on full display here, with each track showcasing his unrivalled skill and passion for pushing musical boundaries.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Midnight Serenade" and the frenetic energy of "Trumpetin' Blues." But really, every track on this album is a gem in its own right, showcasing Smith's unique ability to create music that is both thought-provoking and toe-tapping.

In conclusion, "Trumpetin" is a testament to WADADA LEO SMITH's status as a true musical innovator. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to his work, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates boundary-pushing music. So sit back, relax, and let the trumpet take you on a wild ride you won't soon forget.
