(1947)
Guitarist, lutenist and composer, Frederic Hand was a part of several groups of early music like “The Waverly Consort” and “Calliope”. He was creator and director of the “Jazzantiqua” band. In 1986, he was appointed guitarist and lutenist at the Metropolitan Opera. Frederic Hand is the author of several film musics (Kramer vs. Kramer), and a lot of pieces for guitar.
In “Trilogy” (1976) he merges into the fusion of jazz and classical languages: the second movement is inspired by the Bill Evans personality, while the third movement appears like a reminiscence of “Blue Rondo a la Turk” by Dave Brubeck which was his first contact in the jazz universe.
