about

Long-time collaborators Wadada Leo Smith and Adam Rudolph perform improvised/composed duets from a 2002 live performance in Venice, CA. Both are masters of their mediums: Rudolph plays a variety of percussion instruments and at least one wind instrument to sonically shade, color, and texturize; Smith uses trumpet and flugelhorn in conventional and extended ways to complement him. With improvisers of this depth, the journey takes many unexpected turns, all rewarding.
