Jazz em Agosto 2006, Fighter Fred

Impressiona a dedicação de Fred Frith. Esgrimista desde há muito nas batalhas de live improvisation, continua a surpreeder. Não é, portanto, de espantar a agenda que mantém.

Em conversa, no final do concerto de Sábado, apercebemo-nos que ainda tem bem presente o concerto em Fev. de 1999 para o aniversário da Rádio Universidade de Coimbra, com o FF Guitar Quartet. Nem foi preciso invocá-lo para se recordar de imediato, nos primeiros instantes do nosso encontro.
Com estes dois concertos, embora em planos diferentes e com propósitos distintos, fica balizada a versatilidade de Frith: de improvisador irreverente a compositor minucioso.

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
