O’s Notes: Free jazz trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith leads a quartet, Red Hill with Pianist Jamie Saft, Joe Morris on bass and drummer Balazs Pandi. The band composed all six compositions. The music is edgy, like music from another planet. That is no doubt the objective of Red Hill, dancing to their internal clocks in arena with limited seating.
