Dark Lady of the Sonnets
''Dark Lady of the Sonnets'' is an album by American jazz trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, which was released in 2011 on the Finnish TUM label. He leads the band Mbira, an emsemble dedicated to realizing a spiritual music inspired by the mystical nature of the Mbira music, a tradition of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, but with a creative contextualization in the contemporary music language.〔 Mbira is a trio composed of Smith on trumpet and flugelhorn, Chinese pipa player Min Xiao-Fen, who has collaborated with avant-garde musicians such as Derek Bailey and John Zorn, and drummer Pheeroan akLaff, who has played with Smith since the mid-seventies.
The album includes five thematic suites composed specifically for this trio. "Sarah Bell Wallace" was written as a memorial for Smith's mother. The title track is a tribute to singer Billie Holiday inspired by a prose poem with the same title composed by Amiri Baraka.〔(''Dark Lady of the Sonnets'' ) at TUM Records〕 This poem itself takes its title from the unidentified 'Dark Lady', who is the subject of many of Shakespeare's sonnets.
==Reception==
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "''Dark Lady of the Sonnets'' proves that at 70, Smith has an entire world of sound at his disposal and continues, in a uniquely creative language, to display it seemingly at will." The All About Jazz review by Dave Wayne says "For the musically adventurous, ''Dark Lady of the Sonnet''s is a veritable feast of soulful new sounds, poignantly emotional expressions, and interesting textures from three master musicians who really hear each other on a profound level."〔Wayne, Dave. (''Dark Lady of the Sonnets'' review ) at All About Jazz〕 In another review for All About Jazz Eyal Hareuveni claims "A masterpiece, from beginning to end."〔Hareuveni, Eyal. (''Dark Lady of the Sonnets'' review ) at All About Jazz〕
