Derek Bailey was an avant-garde guitarist of the highest order. From 1976 until 1994, he assembled various configurations of like-minded, free improvising musicians to form his project called "Company." Musicians from the worlds of jazz, classical and avant-garde were invited to break down into duos, trios and small groups to create spontaneous interactive music.
Many of these meetings have been documented on "Company" recordings. These recordings will be featured during WHFR Radio's WHFR PRESENTS on Sunday, December 10, from 4-8pm EST, with your host Pat Frisco.
Please tune in for a unique listening experience.

Remembering David S. Ware Tuesday November 7, 6-11PM EST
David S. Ware was one of the greatest of avant-garde saxophonists during his all too short career and life on earth. His classic quartet with pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist William Parker and a host of revolving drummers is considered by many as the tour de force of avant-garde working groups. From his early mentoring days with Sonny Rollins to his short stint with the Cecil Taylor Unit, his early trio Apogee with the great Cooper-Moore and the classic quartets, David set the jazz community afire with his incendiary and spiritual outpouring of music.
Join me, Pat Frisco, for five hours of the music of David S. Ware, Tuesday, November 7, from 6:00 to 11:00pm EST on the Spirits Rejoice radio program, airing here on 89.3fm and online at whfr.fm.
