Lake Biwa (album)

Lake Biwa is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter and composer Wadada Leo Smith released on John Zorn's Tzadik label in 2004.

The Allmusic review states: "Lake Biwa is a delight, and is full of invention.

The players here perform the work's written and improvised sections with a determined sense of attack that also includes warmth, humor, and the desire for collective discovery".

[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Kurt Gottschalk commented "Over four pieces ranging from 10 to 25 minutes, the ensemble truly is an orchestra.

When called upon to step forward, the voices of Ribot and Zorn especially are unmistakable.
