Fred Ho
Collection

Fred Ho was a leading figure in avant-garde jazz from the 1970s through the 2010s, and he was also a scholar of culture and politics and a political activist.  Fred’s passions and interests brought him to the Twin Cities on many occasions, for a residencies at the Walker Art Center and Macalester College, and as a recipient of a McKnight Composer’s Fellowship.  Fred also collaborated with the Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union (HERE Local 17) and its diverse membership.  Before his death in 2014, Fred shipped 100 boxes of materials — books, recordings, notes, and more — to the ESFL for inclusion in our holdings.
