O’s Notes: Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith joins hands with pianist Amina Claudine Myers for Central Park’s mosaics of reservoir, lake, pathways, and gardens. Each of the seven songs has a unique theme related to park exhibits or experiences you may encounter. Our favorite is “The Harlem Meer”. They are peaceful, solemn and thoughtful songs that reflect the park as a place to relax and reflect, escaping the hustle-bustle of the Big Apple inside of its core.
