Fred Anderson - On The Run, Live At The Velvet Lounge

Anderson is one of the founders of the Assoc. For the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Up to now, his individual sound has been under-documented, but this CD will help Fred to be recognized as an important musician in the Chicago tenor tradition, a style he helped shape in avant garde jazz. He's owned the Velvet Lounge since the early '80s & his Sunday jam sessions have gained international recognition. This album also features Fred's long-time cohorts, Tatsu Aoki on bass & Hamid Drake on drums, performing five new originals.
