106, Wadada Leo Smith on composing and researching for liberation music

Today on Free City Radio, an interview from the archives with trumpeter, composer, researcher and academic Wadada Leo Smith. Wadada speaks on the project "Ten Freedom Summers," and details works that speak to specific moments in Black liberation struggles in the US, particularly the case of Dred Scott in St. Louis. Broadly Wadada has played with musicians and performed globally, for compositional work Wadada often uses beautifully composed visual scores. This interview was recorded within the context of the Suoni per il Popolo festival. Thank you to Peter Burton for helping to arrange the exchange. The accompanying art work for this podcast is a graphic score excerpt, by Wadada.
