"blue winter is a milestone achievement in the great career of one of the stalwarts of the tenor saxophone, fred anderson. an exponent of the illustrious chicago heavyweight tenor tradition that includes his contemporaries gene ammons, johnny griffin, john gilmore & von freeman, anderson spent decades as a family man & bar owner before starting to seriously tour & record in the nineties. born 1929 in monroe, louisiana, anderson migrated to chicago in 1940, where he devoted many years of study to the music of lester young, coleman hawkins, & charlie parker. in 1964 anderson co-founded the seminal chicago musicians' organization the association for the advancement of creative musicians (AACM). the strength & individuality of his playing in early AACM ensembles with muhal richard abrams, joseph jarman, & henry threadgill earned anderson the nickname "the lone prophet of the prairie." on blue winter, anderson is joined by one of the premier rhythm sections in any music genre, william parker & hamid drake. the two-cd set features an impeccably recorded complete concert performance from the trio's 2004 northeast tour. "
howard reich, chicago tribune, #2 jazz record of 2005

"Chicago tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson has recorded with some regularity in recent years, but the two-CD "Blue Winter" represents a pinnacle in his work, and in its documentation. Performing with longtime collaborator Hamid Drake on drums and William Parker on bass, Anderson unfolds solos of uncommon majesty, duration, invention and intellectual heft. The first CD alone represents one extended piece, nearly 45 minutes of extraordinarily fluid jazz improvisation, Anderson's characteristically gnarly, complex yet free-flowing lines pushed forward by Drake's relentless rhythms and deepened by Parker's resonant bass. Anderson rarely has been more faithfully recorded, the often leathery quality of his midrange, the acidity of his high notes and the barreling quality of his nethermost pitches captured more vividly than ever before. In every regard, then, a tour de force."

Fred Anderson

Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Mar 22, 1929 in Monroe, LA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde Jazz, Free Jazz, Modern Creative

Despite being an "old school" musician in terms of grounding and early influences, Fred Anderson was a founding member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and headed several AACM groups in the '60s. Anderson had formally studied music theory and was strongly influenced by Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and Gene Ammons. He reflected that training throughout his career, always having a full, huge tone and being a capable blues and ballad stylist. But he also absorbed the new ideas pioneered by Ornette Coleman and other free theorists; it was this ability to merge old and new that made Anderson a seminal figure among Chicago musicians in the '60s.
In the late '70s, Anderson ran his first club, the Birdhouse, named for Charlie Parker, whose music had a huge influence on the early development of the saxophonist. The '70s were also when he began collaborating with percussionist Hamid Drake; Dark Day: Live in Verona (Okka Disk, 2001) is a good documentation of their early work together and includes trumpeter Billy Brimfield, a frequent collaborator of Anderson's since before AACM's birth, and the musician with whom Anderson first traveled to Europe in 1977 (Anderson returned to Europe the following year with a group that included George Lewis). While two recordings from 1980 came out on CD almost 20 years later, no other available recordings document Anderson's work from 1981-1993.
Despite the lack of recordings, however, Anderson was busy making music throughout this time. 1982 found him taking over Velvet Lounge after the death of the previous owner, who was a friend of his. It wasn't long before the Sunday jam sessions started happening (this schedule highlight was still going on at the Velvet as of 2001). When the Chicago label Okka Disk started up in the mid-'90s, the first thing it did was issue a previously unreleased 1980 duo recording of Anderson and drummer Steve McCall. Not too long after came the first Fred Anderson recording made in years, Birdhouse, recorded in 1994 and 1995. Since then the under-documentation of this artist who so helped nurture creative jazz in Chicago was remedied with a steady supply of new recordings released on Okka Disk, Asian Improv, Thrill Jockey, and other labels. Included among these are 2005's Blue Winter, 2006's Timeless: Live at the Velvet Lounge, and 2007's From the River to the Ocean.
