Wadada Leo Smith Biografie
Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith (* 18. Dezember 1941 in Leland, Mississippi) ist ein US-amerikanischer Trompeter, Komponist und Musikwissenschaftler, der hauptsächlich in den Bereichen des Creative Jazz und der Neuen Improvisationsmusik tätig ist. Nach Steve Lake verfügt er über eine der individuellsten Trompetenstimmen der amerikanischen Jazz-Avantgarde. Neben Lester Bowie – mit allerdings wärmerem, runderem Sound als dieser – „gilt er als wichtigster Trompeter der Chicago-Avantgarde und gewissermaßen als deren Poet.“[1] Nach Ansicht von Bert Noglik strebt er, eng verbunden mit Jazz-Avantgardisten wie Anthony Braxton und Leroy Jenkins, „nach musikalischer Erneuerung aus dem Geist der afroamerikanischen Tradition. Dabei arbeitet er kontinuierlich an der Verknüpfung musiktheoretischer Forschungen mit einer facettenreichen Spielpraxis.“[2]
