弗雷德·安德森 弗雷德安德森简介
by Ron Wynn & Joslyn Layne 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 ation of their early work together and includes trumpeter Billy Brimfield, a frequent collaborator of Andersons since before AACMs 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 Andersons 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 wasnt 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-ation 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 2005s Blue Winter, 2006s Timeless: Live at the Velvet Lounge, and 2007s From the River to the Ocean. (更多)
