From the Art Bears and Henry Cow … Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Henry Kaiser plus Rova Saxophone Quartet

Berkeley: The Bear’s Lair, [1979]. Offset. 11 x 8 ½ in. Very good, with light wear to top edge. Item #6785

Flyer promoting a performance by Fred Frith and Chris Cutler, former members of the Art Bears and Henry Cow, playing with Henry Kaiser, alongside an additional performance by the Rova Saxophone Quarter at the Bear’s Lair pub and coffeehouse on the U.C. Berkeley campus in October of 1979.

The musicians involved were all deeply engaged in the avant-garde music tradition of the late 1970s, with Rova taking extensive influence from the free jazz music of the previous decade and mixing it with white experimental music traditions such as that of Oliver Messiaen and John Cage.
