Jeremy Webster "Fred" Frith (born 17 February 1949) is an English t, composer, and improvisor. Probably best known for his guitar work, Frith first came to attention as one of the founding members of the English avant-rock group Henry Cow. He was also a member of the groups Art Bears, Massacre, and Skeleton Crew.

In 1975, Fred Frith's Guitar Solos album was a bolt from the blue, a hitherto undreamed-of combination of the free improvisation aesthetic of Derek Bailey and, even more importantly, Keith Rowe, with a sensibility that owed more than a little to prog rock. In many ways, Clearing is a belated follow-up to that recording. The pieces are remarkably varied, from the shakuhachi-like freedom of the opening "White" to the folksy "The Bow Moon" to the frenetic, -do-that "Minimalism.

Although he is one of the foremost free improvising guitarists of his generation, Clearing is only Fred Frith's third solo guitar album, following on from Guitar Solos (1974) and the ultra rare Live in Japan (1981). The album was commissioned by John Zorn and most of it was recorded in Germany in 2000

Fred Frith: Clearing Customs by AAJ Italy Staff, published on July 18, 2011. tto di Fred Frith, che vede coinvolti musicisti di diversa nazionalità e formazione, approda alla documentazione ufficiale su CD, a distanza di circa quattro anni dalle esibizioni dal vivo e registrazioni di studio effettuate in Germania sotto l'egida della Südwestrundfunk, in occasione della rassegna New Jazz Meeting. It was Frith's first solo guitar recording since Live in Japan and his first solo guitar studio recording since his landmark 1974 album Guitar Solos. Using prepared guitars, Frith recorded Clearing in Stuttgart, Germany in July 2000 in a similar vein as Guitar Solos, revisiting areas explored on that album but not developed further at the time. He also included two additional tracks, "Gaifu Kaisei" and "This Earth is a Flower" that had been recorded earlier. Frith used a variety of found objects when recording the album. On "Chains", Frith placed a lozenger tin on the guitar strings and dropped a chain into the tin. An acoustic sound was achieved on "Blue" by placing microphones close to the electric.
