Budding of a Rose is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith with a large ensemble.[1] The album was recorded in Paris, following a radio performance the day before, and released in 1979 via German Moers Music label.[2]
Smith explains that "Budding of a Rose" refers to an idea about mysticism or enlightenment, for the rose is one of the symbols of the Rosicrucians. The song "Harmonium" talks about the balance of the Universe. In "Mutumishi" Smith explored how instruments of different pitches could play the same lines.[3]
