Fred Ho, was an American composer, writer, and activist. The bandleader of the Afro Asian Music Ensemble, he crafted a unique style that fused free jazz (a term he hated, as he felt it was derogatory toward the tradition) with traditional Chinese music in a way that felt so natural, so right on. Fred Ho died in 2014, his legacy continues to amaze and provoke.
This evening is dedicated to the revolutionary art of the meeting of minds and blending of souls that was crucial to the music of Fred Ho. The players may interpret, respond, or (re)act as they see fit to the music, writing, or spirit that he made during his 3 decades-plus as a radical creative force. It’s a laboratory for playing, testing out things, and making things swing!
