Music of Wadada Leo Smith February 26, 2011

There is truly no music like that of Wadada Leo Smith. His notational system of Ankrahsmation treats all instruments and all genres of music with true equality. Smith joins Southwest Chamber Music for Taif—Prayer in the Garden of the Hijaz utilizing a four speaker surround-sound computer montage with string quartet, trumpet and a wide array of percussion. In the Diaspora is his fourth string quartet, while Moths, Flames & the Giant Sequoia Redwood Trees celebrates the largest trees on earth, found only in California.
