Ten Freedom Summers, the new Wadada Leo Smith epic

We scratch the surface of the sprawling, ambitious new 4-CD epic concept album Ten Freedom Summers by trumpet player Wadada Leo Smith. An abstract evocation of the American civil rights movement with Smith's Golden Quintet and the 9-piece Southwest Chamber Music ensemble, the album is way too big for one show, so consider this part one.
