This CD Celebration with
Chicago’s tenor great Fred
Anderson will feature one of his long-time collaborators,
bassist Tatsu Aoki.
“Black Horn Long Gone”
was recorded at Sparrow Sound
Design Recording Studio, Chicago, Illinois – January 1993 – A
Direct-to Digital Recording.
This notable recording features both the late
Malachi Favors Maghostut on acoustic bass, and
Ajaramu on drums.
Fred Anderson
is a Chicago original.
His tenor saxophone sounds like a mighty warrior – the sound clear,
focused and strong. His
recorded output is continually evolving.
Anderson notes that he has always felt that this recording is
important for his discography.
~ BLACK HORN LONG GONE ~
Fred Anderson –
Tenor Saxophone
(b. 3/22/1929)

Anderson’s club,
The Velvet Lounge, which he started in 1982, has become a Chicago
landmark for the jazz and experimental music scenes for both
musicians and fans, and continues to host regular jam sessions after
relocating in the summer of 2006.
“We are losing the art of
improvisation. I've
dedicated my whole life to improvisation -it's an art form.
Guys can play all night and every night and never play the
same thing twice -there's an ART to it.
Charlie Parker is the finest example, as I've been
researching – those musicians trusted each other.
That's the way we created these recordings, right in the
studio, we trusted each other.
You got to pretty much know what you're doing, and know where
you are at all times, that's called concentration.
As I've been doing research on how this music came about, and
how these guys put this music together – It’s gonna be a lost art
-improvisation.”
- Fred Anderson
