Fred Anderson: Black Horn Long Gone
by Francis Lo Kee
Fred Anderson is one of today's most powerful and singular saxophonists. Recorded in 1993, this trio (with bassist Malachi Favors and drummer Ajaramu--aka AJ Shelton--who have both since passed away) flies blissfully to new heights for piano-less sax trios. To call Anderson a member of the free jazz movement produces an incomplete picture. His technical facility ...
Bare Bones Improvisation: A Challenge Rewarded
by Mark Corroto
Mood, ambiance and atmosphere are the basic building blocks of music making. Taken at its essence, music is made up of these three components. In generating sound--especially experimental, improvised sound--getting to the essence is a major victory for musicians. And, although it may appeal only to the adventurous listener, there is an importance to bare bones ...

L'occasione: nel marzo del 2009 il musicista ha festeggiato l'ottantesimo compleanno con un concerto nel suo club, il “Velvet Lounge," aggiungendo ...
Fred Anderson: 21st Century Chase
by John Sharpe
There are few more thrilling sounds in jazz than the twin tenors of Fred Anderson and Kidd Jordan in aerobatic flight. Though they play together in person on at least an annual basis, including headline appearances at the Vision Festival in 2005 and 2008, this is the first time they have appeared together on disc since ...

Myra Melford's Be Bread: The Whole Tree Gone
by Nic Jones
Pianist Myra Melford founded this ensemble in 2002, specifically as an outlet for her compositions. She's blessed indeed, because this line up realizes them so beautifully. Her work can be described as pervasively contemplative though never quiet, which in its way is every bit as distinctive as the late Andrew Hill's depth of compositional character.
