Bill Smith Ensemble - The Subtle Deceit of the Quick Gloved Hand (1981)

Leo Smith with The Bill Smith Ensemble, 'Rastafari' LP (Sackville)

Monday, January 17, 2022, 8:39pm (full listen)

Finally got to have a decent listen to this one, a very chamber jazz-ish session for Canadian label Sackville (parent label of personal fave Onari, both run by Bill Smith, present here on reeds). It's a good album, with a lot of interesting compositions, the kind that make me want to know more about they're constructed, and playing is great - a lot of fast, close listening and jagged little phrases being thrown around - but the main things I kept thinking about while this played were a) whatever happened to the other guys (Davids Prentice and Lee) from the Bill Smith Ensemble; b) Bill Smith is a real beast on the reeds, and it's odd how he almost never pops up in free jazz/improv conversations; c) these guys from the Bill Smith Ensemble really fire up my Canadian free music pride: and d) I still need to track down some of the LS solo albums mentioned at length in the excellent liners here by Bill Shoemaker. I think Tzadik reissued some of those and I really gotta take the plunge finally.
