Fred Frith Trio: Another Day in Fucking Paradise
by Glenn Astarita
The album title may equate to what a disgruntled co-worker may utter at the office on a Monday morning. Yes, some of us have used this line, but master improviser, guitarist Fred Frith's prowess and boundless creativity is the antithesis to anything that may cause a semblance of drudgery. Jason Hoopes' bursting e-bass lines ...

Certainly there are elements within his compositions which allude to some ...
