Notes
7-string jazz guitarist Fred Fried was born in Brooklyn, New York. "My parents didn't play any instruments," he states, " but my mother had a beautiful singing voice and we always had records around the house." As a kid Fred enjoyed everything from early rock and roll to show tunes. He remembers listening to cast albums of Oklahoma, South Pacific and West Side Story. He loved Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and pretended to conduct the orchestra in front of the record player. In retrospect, Fred notes that it was very beneficial to have loved different kinds of music before he became involved with the guitar. "That way," he states, "the musical palette before me was larger than had I first discovered the guitar and started listening to just guitarists. I knew there was a bigger picture." From age 12, Fred played clarinet and was in various junior high school bands and orchestras. As a teenager Fred attended New York's High School of Performing Arts as a drama major. But he remembers many times listening to the school's orchestra and being amazed at the high level of proficiency exhibited by his classmates in the music department. He didn't start the guitar until college, where he was an English major at Boston University, originally planning on becoming a writer. Learning chords from friends who were heavily into blues and folk guitar, he soon became obsessed with the instrument. " When I became serious about the guitar," Fred remembers, "which was almost immediately after I picked one up at college, I thought back to my high school musician friends and realized I had a lot of work ahead of me. For a long time I imagined most guitar players were ahead of me and that I was playing catch up. It made me work all the harder." His introduction to jazz guitar came when he bought Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery albums. After hearing Wes, he knew what he wanted to do. But he cites many musicians as influences. Among guitarists he mentions Wes, Johnny Smith, Jim Hall, Pat Martino, George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Lenny Breau, Ted Greene and of course, George Van Eps. Yet the more Fred delved into the pianistic style of guitar, the more he listened to pianists. His major influence was Bill Evans but he listened and continues to listen to such great pianists as Herbie Hancock, Ahmad Jamal, Chick Corea, Mark Copland, Brad Mehldau and many others. "No matter what the instrument," says Fred, " there is always something to be learned from great musicians.' The first jazz guitarists Fred heard live were at Boston's Jazz Workshop where he caught Kenny Burrell and then George Benson. "They amazed me," he recalls, " after hearing those guys I just practiced harder." George Van Eps - a renaissance man who created a seventh string for his guitar. His playing combined the clean precision of a classical guitarist with improvisational skills second to none. After college, Fred Fried spent five years in Los Angeles where he was fortunate to study for six months with the great George Van Eps, the father of the 7-string guitar. The hallmarks of Van Eps' influential style were the depth, richness and complexity of his playing. "George," Fred explains, "got me thinking about the guitar in more pianistic terms and helped me greatly in acquiring the technique I would need to play music the way I heard it." Recently, guitarist/writer Robert Yelin in Just Jazz Guitar magazine wrote that "Fred Fried has answered the fifty year old question: What direction will the art of 7-string playing go after George Van Eps? He (Fried) is a master improviser, weaving single lines with chords or playing two lines together. His pianistic approach to playing and composing make him unique as a jazz guitarist as well as a jazz composer. His music is 'ear opening,' sophisticated, beautiful and swinging. Once you hear Fred play just a few notes you will always recognize him." When asked why he started playing the 7-string guitar and why he stuck with it, Fred reveals that "wh
