Dempsey present Red Chrysanthemums, a previously unreleased live recording of solo performances by Smith, documented in Los Angeles in December of 1977. Three adventurous, spacious tracks that feature Smith's unique and innovative trumpet, as well as percussion, tuned percussion, and flute, all captured as Smith was in the process of confirming his place in the pantheon of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians greats. A candid snapshot of one of the most vital musicians to extend the jazz tradition, testing his craft and artistry with a bright, pure-toned sensibility and deeply soulful melodic imagination. Personnel: Wadada Leo Smith - trumpet, flugelhorn, flute, steelophone, percussion, gongs. Recorded in Los Angeles by Lee Kaplan in December of 1977.
