A
relentless musical innovator since his early days in the Chicago
AACM, Wadada Leo Smith is one of the most consistently creative
composer/performers in new music.
In
his sixth Tzadik release he once again explores new territory,
bringing six absolute masters of live electronics together to
perform some of Wadada's most adventurous and colorful compositions.
Including a large, sprawling work for four laptops and trumpet,
and two dynamic duets with legendary laptop pioneer Ikue Mori,
Luminous Axis is one of Wadada's most exciting and dynamic recordings.
