''Ten Freedom Summers'' is a four-disc box set by American trumpeter and composer Wadada Leo Smith, released on May 5, 2012, by Cuneiform Records. Smith wrote its pieces intermittently for 34 years, beginning in 1977, before performing them live in November 2011 at the Colburn School's Zipper Hall in Los Angeles. He was accompanied by the nine-piece Southwest Chamber Music ensemble and his own jazz quartet, featuring drummers Pheeroan akLaff and Susie Ibarra, pianist Anthony Davis, and bassist John Lindberg. A free jazz and contemporary classical work, ''Ten Freedom Summers'' comprises 19 pieces that are mostly fully developed suites. They eschew conventional themes for abstract expressions of the subject matter, which focuses on the Civil Rights Movement and other interrelated topics. Smith cites the segregation of his native Mississippi and playwright August Wilson's ''The Pittsburgh Cycle'' as inspirations behind the work. ''Ten Freedom Summers'' received widespread acclaim from critics and was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013. == Background ==
Smith started ''Ten Freedom Summers'' in 1977, when he wrote the piece "Medgar Evers" as an evocation of the eponymous civil rights activist gunned down in Mississippi in 1963. Smith subsequently worked intermittently on the project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet )〕 He spent 34 years writing it, supported by a series of residencies, grants and commissions, the final one from the Southwest Chamber Music ensemble.〔 He completed the pieces in a flurry of activity between 2009 and 2011.〔 Smith was inspired to assemble the pieces into one group by August Wilson's 10-play series ''The Pittsburgh Cycle''. Smith has said of the idea behind ''Ten Freedom Summers'': ''Ten Freedom Summers'' was recorded at Zipper Hall in Los Angeles, where Smith performed live for three nights from November 4 to November 6, 2011.〔 He played 19 pieces, accompanied by either his Golden Quartet, the nine-piece Southwest Chamber Music ensemble conducted by Jeff von der Schmidt, or both. Smith's quartet featured drummers Pheeroan akLaff and Susie Ibarra, pianist Anthony Davis, and bassist John Lindberg.
