<\/center>Lots of people I know \u2013 the ones who like jazz, anyway \u2013 tend to prefer Miles Davis<\/strong>‘ music best from the era around Birth of the Cool<\/em>. Me, as a rock guy, I’m much more fascinated with the work he did around the time of Jack Johnson<\/em>. And this avant jazz album from trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith<\/strong> sounds to these ears like that exploratory-era Miles, without John McLaughlin<\/strong> (or anyone, for that matter) on guitar. I can’t define this music much more sharply, but if you dig the musical references, you’ll quite likely appreciate the music on Red Hill<\/em>.<\/p>\n
