French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson

Musical Group

A collaboration of John French, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser and Richard Thompson that issued two albums under the group name: Live, Love, Larf & Loaf and Invisible Means.

Members include John French (drums, nicknamed "Drumbo"), Fred Frith (guitar/bass), Henry Kaiser (guitar) and Richard Thompson (guitar). The DeBaser review notes Frith on bass and credits Kaiser as producer of Invisible Means. The project blends improvisation, avant-rock and folk elements; DeBaser's Invisible Means review gives the album a 3/5 and highlights its originality and heterogeneity.

DeBaser hosts one review of French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson centered on the album Invisible Means. The review notes the group's heterogeneity: blues and folk tracks sit alongside colder, more cerebral compositions. Fred Frith plays bass on this record while John French ("Drumbo") provides a distinctive rhythmic base. The reviewer rates the album 3/5 and praises originality but criticizes lack of cohesion.

For:Listeners of experimental and avant-rock, fans of guitar-driven improvisation, and followers of Fred Frith and Richard Thompson

 "Invisible Means" is a well-curated work, curious and also original.
