Always an absolute pleasure when Mr Braxton turns his unique sensibilities towards the ‘standard’ repertoire…this set looks monumental but feels anything but: alive, contemporary and compelling…if his music is new to you, please also check out ‘19 Standards’, ‘20 Standards’, ‘23 Standards’, ‘The Charlie Parker Project’ et al…you will be delighted.

Loving this new release from FPE Records! Fred Anderson was one of the pivotal members of Chicago's fabled AACM and contributed to many of the most important albums to come out of that city in the 60's and 70's. He continued to produce exciting, creative music until his passing. This live recording from 1994 catches him in excellent form along with bandmates Hamid Drake, Tatsu Aoki and trumpeter extraordinaire Toshinori Kondo! Many thanks to FME for bringing this superb recording to light!!! 😎 Rick Mathis
