In addition to his undeniable qualities as a guitarist, improviser and composer, FRED FRITH is also a great teacher who likes to continue playing with his most gifted students. The FRED FRITH TRIO was formed in 2013, when he was teaching at Mills College in Oakland. His acolytes, JASON HOOPES and JORDAN GLENN, compose the rhythm section of the unclassifiable group Jack o' the Clock. Together, they developed a rich language, a sense of improvisation with rock roots that recall the indescribable synergy that reigned in Henry Cow.
They published two albums with Intakt, then the double Road album with two guests: Lotte Anker and SUSANA SANTOS SILVA. The latter, a Portuguese trumpeter residing in Sweden, has had a dazzling career lately, whether with her groups Impermanence and Life and Other Transient Storms or in her collaborations with Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker, among other big names.
An internationally renowned visual artist, HEIKE LISS regularly collaborates with the trio. She will put the music in images in an exercise of fusion of the senses.
