After a dozen years, Fred’s all-star rock band returns for a third release!
Cosa Brava is an experimental rock and free improvisation group formed in March 2008 in Oakland, California, by multi-instrumentalist and composer Fred Frith.
All About Jazz described their music as somewhere between folk, Celtic, modern chamber, Latin, funk, Eastern, and prog-rock.
The motivation behind the formation of Cosa Brava arose out of Frith’s nostalgia for rock music. He said, “I really miss what you can do with a rock band. I miss developing material through the push and pull of cooperative rehearsals, I miss what happens when you move away from'the parts and start formulating things with a collective ear, I miss the single-minded commitment to a group identity.”
