Legendary experimental guitarist Fred Frith premieres improvisations both as a soloist and as a member of the duo Normal, alongside Sudhu Tewari, a Bay Area resident of Indian descent whose remarkable music is performed on homemade acoustic instruments. Since recording “Guitar Solos” in 1974, Frith has been regarded as one of a handful of radical innovators on the instrument. A co-founder of the English rock group Henry Cow, Frith also has composed a significant body of chamber music for such groups as the ASKO Ensemble, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, and Ensemble Modern. |
