Which award-winning baritone saxophonist is also a Chinese-American, self-proclaimed matriarchal Marxist revolutionary?
There is only one answer, of course, and he is Brooklyn’s Fred Ho– a bona fide icon of Asian-American jazz, who has been waging a ‘scorched earth’ war with cancer since 2006. I remember corresponding with Fred about possible gigs while I was living and working in China, having invited him to Vancouver a few years earlier for an Asian-Canadian music series. But Fred suddenly stopped emailing and later I found out about his illness.
