I think I came across reviews in Forcedexposure years and years ago. As in before i left londoin i think. THink I got hold of a live lp with a long version of dark Star on it and Tom Constanten in the band from Rhythm records in camden but could be getting details confused since I probably lost the record in '96.
Is there a long interview with kaiser in a Forcedexposure? Certainly remember seeing on e somewhere.
& this morning I was looking up Diamanada galas after seeing a performance by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQDfCFg4wxk&feature=share which reminded me of her among other people. & found out taht the first lp that Galas put out in '79 was a collaboration with then husband John French and Henry Kaiser.

Not sure what happened there, video I was trying to link to was by a french artist called fabienne audeoud who has been taking part in a locla arts festival. & flew in to give a sustained vocal performance yesterday. Quite amazing. maybe worth investigating further but main relevance here being that she had me looking into Diamanda galas.

good call, worth looking at the Metalanguage label output for another window into Kaiser's world

According to Wikipedia, he's also a member of the Kaiser family which founded Kaiser Permanente, the giant US health care payer/provider.

He’s the grandson of the famous industrialist!

two years pass...

oooh Mike Watt of Minutemen fame is on new Kaiser album

Henry Kaiser A Love Supreme Electric is guitarist Henry Kaiser’s 9 th recording for Cuneiform Records; other outings include the solo album Lemon Fish Tweezer, two Yo Miles! sessions with trumpet master Wadada Leo Smith ( Sky Garden and Upriver), and 2014’s The Celestial Squid, with pioneering jazz-rock guitarist Ray Russell.

Wayne Peet A relatively unsung member of the Los Angeles improvising scene, and a long-time playing partner of both Henry Kaiser and Vinny Golia, Wayne Peet is responsible for much of the textural diversity found on A Love Supreme Electric—not only with his expressive solos on both piano and organ, but with ears well-trained by his parallel career as a recording engineer and studio owner.

Mike Watt A bona fide Rock God for his work with the Minutemen, Firehose, and more recently Iggy Pop and the Stooges, bassist Mike Watt is primarily known for his relentless rhythmic drive. As the title of his 1995 solo album Ball-Hog or Tugboat? suggests, he’s more inclined to keep things moving than indulge in sonic grandstanding, and on A Love Supreme Electric he does just that while also displaying keen sensitivity to the needs of the music in the moment.
