Clifton Anderson: Decade
ByThe standards are just as much fun. Anderson's improvised muted introduction to "I'm Old Fashioned" is backed solely by Foster, taking this old warhorse for a spirited ride in a driving bop setting. Anderson also uses a mute for "We'll Be Together Again," with Scott as his only partner, taking the song away from its typical bittersweet flavor and adding a touch of whimsy. He transforms the '70s pop song "If" into a slightly breezy hard bop setting, with his expressive solo complemented by Scott, McBride and Jordan. Hopefully it will not be another decade before Clifton Anderson releases his next CD.
