It is apparent at the beginning of "Composition No. 316" that the duo of trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and saxophonist Anthony Braxton is very complete. A rhythm section is not needed for these two masterful musicians, who have played together on an infrequent basis since the late '60s, for they form their own themes, harmonies, and rhythms. Smith's "Saturn" begins somewhat sarcastically with long tones from Smith and Braxton, with the latter utilizing excessive vibrato. It gradually becomes much more fiery before returning to long tones at its conclusion. Goshawk" is a group improvisation and a bit looser, although logical in its own way.

Fans of Wadada Leo Smith and Anthony Braxton should welcome this long overdue reunion and the fact that after all these years, they are still stretching themselves.

Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith (born December 18, 1941) is an American trumpeter and composer, working primarily in the fields of avant-garde jazz and free improvisation Contents. On this album, Smith, Kaiser and a large cast of musicians recorded cover versions and original compositions inspired by Miles's electric music. The follow-ups Sky Garden (released by Cuneiform in 2004) and Upriver (released in 2005) were recorded with a different cast of musicians. Both line-ups featured Michael Manring on bass. 2004: Saturn, Conjunct the Grand Canyon in a Sweet Embrace (Pi). 2006: Compassion (Meta/Kabell).

Saturn, Conjunct The Grand Canyon In A Sweet Embrace. Braxton and Smith's musical relationship began in 1960s Chicago in the early days of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Since then their paths have crossed infrequently (at least on record), but their mutual admiration has remained strong. Despite differing approaches, both men have seen themselves as composers as much as improvisers, devoted to Boulez and Stockhausen as much as to Charlie Parker or John Coltrane.

With his dry tone, extended use of silence and abrupt smears of color, Smith is different than most trumpet players. He was exposed to the blues early on and the improvisational traditions of the Delta blues as well as influences from around the world are into his work. He has taught at several esteemed universities and has held the Dizzy Gillespie Chair at the CA Institute of the Arts since 1993.
