Henry Kaiser – Still Sunrise - Live
Biography
He is considered a member of the “first generation” of American free improvisors, reflecting influences from European free players including, among others, Derek Bailey and Evan Parker. In 1978, Kaiser founded the Metalanguage Records label with Larry Ochs (Rova Saxophone Quartet) and Greg Goodman.
Kaiser was a member of the aggregation French Frith Kaiser Thompson, together with fellow experimental musicians John French, Fred Frith, and English folk-rocker Richard Thompson. They recorded two eclectic albums, Live, Love, Larf & Loaf (1987) and Invisible Means (1990).
In 1991, Kaiser went to Madagascar with fellow guitarist David Lindley, where they spent two weeks recording music with Malagasy musicians. Three volumes of this music were released by Shanachie under the title A World Out of Time.
Since 1998, Kaiser has been collaborating with trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith in the “Yo Miles!” project, releasing a series of tributes to Miles Davis’s 1970s electric music. This shifting aggregation has included musicians from the worlds of rock (guitarists Nels Cline and Mike Keneally, drummer Steve Smith), jazz (saxophonists Greg Osby and John Tchicai), and Indian classical music (tabla player Zakir Hussain).

Had the chance to jam with Henry on a remote island in the pacific just about 9 years ago. Changed my life, and prior his music meant the world to me since HS. Henry, great guy, real.

I had the pleasure of seeing Henry Kaiser open for The Bears a million years ago, and have been addicted ever since. He is one of those artists that ties together my odd collection ( Henry -> Fred Frith -> The Residents or Henry -> Adrian or Henry -> John Fahey.. etc etc etc..) Brilliant Guitarist.
