Fred Frith
Jez Nelson presents a concert given by avant-garde guitarist and composer Fred Frith with bassist John Edwards and drummer Mark Sanders.
Pioneering guitarist and composer Fred Frith returned to his native UK last year to perform for the first time with leading British free-improvisers John Edwards (bass) and Mark Sanders (drums). This week's programme features the previously unbroadcast second set from that gig. Frith's grounding in experimental rock and the improvising lineage of the likes of Derek Bailey make him one of the most adventurous guitarists around, adopting unorthodox percussive techniques that give his playing variety on an orchestral scale. Edwards and Sanders are the perfect foil for this approach, creating an ensemble sound in which it's sometimes impossible to tell where one instrument begins and another ends.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producers: Peggy Sutton & Chris Elcombe.
