| The
groundbreaking clarinetist and composer William O. “Bill” Smith
recently turned 92 and is well known not only to Northwest audiences
but to jazz fans and clarinetists throughout the world. A founding
member of the Dave Brubeck Octet, Smith pioneered the use of
multiphonics on clarinet in the 1960s and has continued to experiment
with extended techniques throughout his life. Born in Sacramento,
California, he studied at Juilliard, Mills College, the University of
California–Berkeley and the Paris Conservatory, and his longest
teaching appointment was at the University of Washington, where he
taught composition, clarinet and contemporary music for more than 30
years. He has enjoyed great success over seven decades as a composer
and performer. He is still writing and performing music, recently
at a residency at the Bologna Conservatory in Italy, and
continues to teach composition and clarinet at his home in Seattle's
Ravenna neighborhood. |
