Smokehouse is the second album by American jazz saxophonist Glenn Spearman Double Trio, which was recorded in 1993 and released on the Italian Black Saint label.[1]
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The music, not for the faint-hearted, is avant-garde, dissonant, and full of plenty of honest feeling and high energy. Listeners who enjoy Albert Ayler and Rova will find this passionate effort of strong interest."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes "Spearman's time in Europe opened up many interesting compositional ideas to him, but these performances are squarely in the tradition of the 1960s avant-garde, and their strength comes from Spearman's profound conviction that the ideas alumbrated at that time are far from exhausted but still constitute a lingua franca for improvisation."[3]
