The Fred Frith Trio

Fred Frith - electric guitar / Jason Hoopes - electric bass / Jordan Glenn - drums.

"Their music is hard to classify (luckily!): it is not jazz, not rock, not fusion, not noise either. It is something else: wayward, stubborn, recalcitrant, unpredictable, uncompromising, performed by three musicians who take their instruments beyond the boundaries of conventions to create something new and fascinating.”
-Stef, The Free Jazz Collective

"Three extravagantly creative musicians employed in making music like we've never heard before.”
- Raul da Gama.

"As an improvising soloist of the highest order, I can’t imagine Frith wanting for a single thing more from his latest rhythm section – they lay down metronomic and/or shifting grooves, they create sunset-like colors on which Frith eviscerates and/or gently highlights with an array of engaging tremolo and reverberant effects, and they are acutely aware of their supporting-yet-not-passive role and play and/or don’t play accordingly. Bravo to Swiss imprint Intakt Records for being home to such a vital statement from a singular artist and his inventive crew.”
- Kevin Coultas, www.inonthecorner.com

Las Sucias

Las Sucias is the Avant-Tropical Noise duo formed by Danishta Rivero and Alexandra Buschman-Román. Through ritualistic and improvisatory manifestations involving electronics and bruja voices, they look to their Venezuelan and Puerto Rican roots, and the diaspora's cultural expression steeped in Afro-Caribbean and mestiza consciousnesses.
