Derek Bailey born today in 1930


Derek Bailey was a great guitarist! He died in 2005 at the age of 75 of motor neuron disease and he was also a great influence on many musicians you may know like Thurston Moore, John Zorn, Fred Frith...
I filmed him improvising with a group at the ICA in London in the early 80's. The Japanese dancer Min Tanaka was performing with them. It was an amazing dance concert.
