'loud' is the definition.
(strident can mean harsh-sounding or loud)

'type of jazz music name trio's leader' is the wordplay.
'type of jazz music' becomes 'stride' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'leader' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'name trios' is 'nt'.
'stride'+'nt'='STRIDENT'

Can you help me to learn more?
