2026 stock Condor, Autumn Wind is a live album released in 1998 by American jazz trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith in collaboration with his wife, poet Harumi Makino Smith. Recorded in Durham, it showcases Smith's avant-garde improvisation style through mostly solo trumpet performances enriched by mbira, percussion, wood flute, siren, and vocals.

The album blends Smith's episodic trumpet solos—boldly shaped phrases that evolve piece by piece—with Harumi Makino Smith's evocative poetry recited in English and Japanese on select tracks. Dedicated to Sarhanna, Kashala, Lamar, and in memory of Dizzy Gillespie, it highlights Smith's disciplined creation of improvisational space.
