Reflectativity,
first released on Leo Smith's own label in the early 1970s is
one of the most important extended compositions blending improvisation
and composition, and one of Leo Smith's masterpieces.
This exciting
new version features the brilliant pianist/composer Anthony
Davis (who performed on the original recording) and longtime
friend and colleague Malachi Favors - the legendary monster
bass player from the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
Coupled
with several new compositions, this CD brings together the past
and present of creative music's most continually fascinating
composer/performers.
