	Henry Kaiser - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Guitarist Henry Kaiser is a prolific member of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene, as well as being a globally recognized leader of the "second generation" free improvisers who came of age in the '70s.
		Kaiser's restless creativity unearthed many new and unconventional electric guitar techniques during these years, and he combined these innovations with a strong sense of logic and concise development, often aided by sophisticated sound-processing devices.
		Kaiser appears to be constantly busy, recording in different settings, although his release schedule is usually not as active as his recording schedule.

		Kaiser not only produces and contributes to a staggering number of recorded projects, he performs frequently throughout the USA, Europe and Japan, with several regular groupings as well as solo guitar concerts and concerts of freely improvised music with a host of diverse instrumentalists.
		Kaiser has helped unfetter the guitar from the conventions of genre-bound techniques, but his instrumental virtuosity and technological breakthroughs are always deployed in the service of deep and immediate personal expression.
		Kaiser, grandson and namesake of the man who brought you aluminum, joined a team of scientists from the Exploratorium and art historian William Fox for the eight-hour plane trip -- in full arctic survival gear -- from Christchurch, New Zealand, to McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.

	Hot licks in a cold spot / Intrepid guitarist Henry Kaiser to trek to Antarctica to perform and record

	Greg Goodman/Henry Kaiser/Lukas Ligeti \| Heavy Meta
		Henry Kaiser is the best-known voice here, an independently wealthy, endlessly creative guitarist who has worked from San Francisco to Madagascar, Antarctica and back.
		Yet the musicians seem to wear their influences a bit too prominently on their sleeves.
		Goodman’s prettiness on “Logical Types” is a nice foil for Kaiser’s thuddy bass, and the guitarist wails in his customary hot electric fashion on “Tasurim”.

		Henry and David are planning several new series of collaborative recordings that may someday take the duo "on the road" to Korea.
		Richard Thompson and Henry are presently considering preparation of a similar type of collaborative project for the Islands of Fiji.

	Bagatellen: Henry Kaiser & Damon Smith: Six Of Two
		it's been a long since i heard a recent henry kaiser track and this one is very interesting with damon smith.
		Henry is not a musician I can be objective about.
		Well, without a question Henry has influenced me for the past 20+ years, thru college in the 80s and 90s and in the new millenium when I was fortunate to have spent time on Midway with him (I was working there at the time) and practiced and played for a performance for the islanders.

	Pynchon - Music: Frith & Kaiser
		Hailing from the 70's group Henry Cow, Fred Frith joined with the younger Henry Kaiser to form a guitar-based pair with a penchant for exploration, unusual instrumentation, and virtuoso playing.
		Kaiser and Frith alternate squiggles and wiggles and string tickles here, giving lots of attention to the details of improvised abstractions.
		Kaiser, by contrast, seems perfectly seated when controlling the projections and mangling, tangling, and laying them in disconnected lines.

		After all, Frith got his steely nerve from Henry Cow, who formed in the early 1970s, and Kaiser seemed to step into his own as a brilliant musician fully formed in the late 1970s.
		Being the complete recorded collaborations of Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser, and a wonder it is too; a pair of thoroughly stuffed CDs containing not only Frith and Kaiser's two previous albums together, but also the substance of a previously unreleased live album and some brand new (as of 1999) tracks.
		Kaiser, the master of genre, is the more faithful bluesman, but Frith's take on a Skip James tune is actually more rewarding, as his microtonal bends and clanging sound make the Mississippi sound like it flowed through back-country Bulgaria.

		This DVD also features in-the-field video performances with Henry from the frozen Southern continent, including using the South Pole as a guitar slide, the Icestock Music Festival at McMurdo Base, and performing inside an ice cave, high atop the active volcano, Mount Erebus.
		The man often cited as one of the most creative and innovative guitarists in the world of modern music smashes genres and confounds expectations by turning in a stunning set of virtuoso solo performances utilizing 25 unusual acoustic and electric guitars.
		Also included is footage from Kaiser's Antarctic Guitar release in which the adventurous experimental musician traveled to the geographic South Pole to offer various in-the-field performances which are captured live on camera in the frozen Southern continent.

		Henry Kaiser and David Lindley aren't scientists - they're musicians, adventurous ones with profoundly personal styles and great ears.
		Guitarists Kaiser and Lindley brought a digital recording deck to Madagascar and spent two weeks recording as many top musicians as possible, sometimes joining in with them.
		There is dance music from Roger Georges, folk from Dama Mahaleo (perhaps the most famous Malagasy musician), valiha music (a native instrument, a tubular zither) from Sylvestre Randafison, Tovo, and Voninavoko, blues from the 70-year-old flute player Rakoto Frah, virtuoso guitar playing from D'Gary, and a closing cover of "I Fought the Law" from Rossy.

	Beta Foly
		This CD, the first of the group Beta Foly, is the documentation of a meeting in which the computer encounters the djembè, the balafon, the bolon, and others to create a fusion of contemporary ideas and ancestral traditions, and thus to give birth to the Afro N`Kuman style of Beta Foly.
		Composer-drummer Lukas Ligeti and his project partner, seminal German new wave musician Kurt Dahlke, brought the latest MIDI equipment and other computerized and electronic gear, as well as Ligeti`s main instrument, the trap drum set, to see what would happen when traditional African musicians began stirring those electronic spices into the cross-cultural musical stew.
		The musician in the large ensemble that is BETA FOLY listen to each other, and play music in the moment.

	Henry Kaiser & Wadada Leo Smith / Yo Miles!: Sky Garden - review
		But the best piece for this writer was the long track called Ife, where Kaiser appeared to remember another genre that he had witnessed during about the same time period: "psychedelic cosmic rock", with its guitaristic explosions.
		Again we have Kaiser, Smith, Manring and Muir, joined here by saxophone players Greg Osby and John Tchicai, drummer Steve Smith, keyboard player Tom Coster, percussionists Karl Perazzo and Zakir Hussain and guitarist and keyboardist Mike Keneally, who had already played with Kaiser in The Mistakes.
		In closing, it has to be said that this is a double-layer album, with a CD layer (the one that I listened to) and a SA-CD layer (which needs a dedicated player).

	The Captain Beefheart Radar Station - Yeah I'm Happy
		Kaiser contends that the vastly influential music to be found on Trout Mask Replica and its successors (Lick My Decals Off Baby, The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot) was in large part the uncredited work of Beefheart’s Magic Band - Zoot Horn Rollo, Drumbo, Rockette Morton, and Ed Marimba.
		Yet looking at Captain Beefheart through this mid-'90s vantage point, when piercing criticisms by Henry Kaiser and even former members of his Magic Band remain mostly unanswered by Van Vliet himself can be unsettling.
		Today, Henry Kaiser says he spent "a bunch" of time with Van Vliet and the Magic Band back in the early '70s: "it was 10 or 15 days total, I watched them rehearse, and I watched songs being written."

		Henry Kaiser : Those Who Know History Are Doomed to Repeat It albums
		Guitarist Henry Kaiser manifests at least three distinct personas: the free improvising musician coming out of Derek Bailey, the indefatigable ethnomusicologist discovering obscure musics and demonstrating their relationships to the blues and other forms, and the imaginative cover artist.
		Kaiser's own compositions have never been particularly memorable, but he both exercises a superb ear in his choice of covers and a creative and buoyant sense of fun in his interpretations.

		Henry Kaiser, a prominent figure in the Grateful Dead's extended family, has taken music to new improvisational levels with many musicians in the Bay Area, through North America, and in cultures in many corners of the world.
		While appreciating the merits of world muscians present and past, Henry strives to experiment with the unknown in order to create something unique and in the moment.
		You’ve worked with the Dead and a lot of the musicians in the Grateful Dead community, but you started out as a fan — a listener — you must have a very interesting perspective of the whole scene.

		When not freely improvising with the likes of Derek Bailey or horsing around with inspired covers of avant rock classics, Henry Kaiser spent a great deal of time investigating the music of various non-Western cultures, often seeking common ground between native plucked instruments and American blues-based forms.
		Kaiser wisely defers to Park, allowing him to lead the improvisations and thus keeping them largely within a serene, flowing framework.
		Each musician instead contributes in a relaxed manner, sitting out when appropriate, commenting when the occasion requires.

	CD Baby: KAISER & PLIMLEY: Passwords
		A meeting of like souls, Vancouver pianist Paul Plimley and Bay Area guitarist Henry Kaiser both seem to operate on a higher vibrational plane than most mere mortals...Their collaboration is speedy, surreal, fragmented and a treat for those interested in the outer limits.
		There are also moments when either Henry and/or Paul drop these small firecrackers of fractured notes to balance the extreme nature of the reflective side.
		Kaiser has also collaborated with many artists building upon traditional musics, and he has cited as influences traditional blues, East Asian, Classical North Indian and Hawaiian music, American steel-string concert guitar, as well as free jazz, free improvisation and 20th century classical..

	PhilZone.com - Henry Kaiser Interview
		1972 to 1975 is not usually a particularly popular period with jazz musicians.
		We don't talk a lot about it or work stuff out — the pieces from that time are really just bass lines and tiny little five note themes and ideas which you can mix and stack in different ways and play different tunes on top of each other.
		There are six albums I’m mixing now — one with some Japanese musicians, one with a great musician, Mike Keneally (guitar and keyboard player who was with Frank Zappa), one project with Captain Beefheart’s old drummer, Drumbo, John French, who I’ve known for years, Michael Manring and myself that we’re working on finishing up now.
