It is a tribute to a musician who deserves to be heard.
I found out about Fred through Jeff Parker. I am a HUGE fan
of Jeff. After hearing some shows from 2000 - 2002 (with Jeff)...
I was hooked. Excellent improv. The way jazz should be....FREE.

Anderson grew up in the Southern U.S. and learned to play the saxophone in his youth. Anderson moved his family to Evanston, Illinois in the 1940's. Anderson was one of the founders of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and is still an important member of the musical collective. His partner for many years was the Chicago underground jazz legend, trumpeter Billy Brimfield.Anderson appeared on several notable avant garde albums in the '60s, notably the seminal Delmark recordings of saxophonist Joseph Jarman, As If It Were The Seasons (1968), and Song For (1966), which includes Anderson's composition "Little Fox Run."In 1983, Fred Anderson took over ownership of the Velvet Lounge in Chicago, which quickly became a center for the city's jazz and experimental music scenes. The club expanded and relocated in the summer of 2006.Though he remained an active performer, Anderson recorded rarely for about a decade beginning in the mid-'80s. By the 1990s, however, he resumed a more active recording schedule, both as a solo artist, and in collaboration with younger performers, notably saxophonist Ken Vandermark and drummer Hamid Drake.
