Two Sides of Fred Frith
by John Eyles
From the very start of his musical career, guitarist Fred Frith has been equally at home as an improviser, a songwriter or a combination of the two. His first group, the legendary Henry Cow, always featured a balance between songs that were used as a springboard for improvisation and free improvisations. In contrast, his debut solo ...
MMM Quartet: Live at the Metz' Arsenal
by Glenn Astarita

La radio svizzera non si è lasciata sfuggire una ghiotta occasione come questa ...
Une, Deux, Trois: Solo, Duo and Trio Improvisation from Europe
by Clifford Allen
At one point in time, the term “European Improvisation" meant something quite specific, carrying with it an air of otherness to American jazz audiences, solidarity to European jazz audiences, and presented rarified and sometimes unruly music based on folk, classical and open forms.
