The new traditionalists are extremely derivative and boring. Absolutely indistinguishable from several different previously recorded bodies of work, except much clunkier, more self-conscious, unoriginal and unimaginative. Why wouldn't I just listen to the Blue Note catalog from the 1960's, for example, to hear this music? And to hear it in its fresh forms and done by absolutely inimitable and recognizable musicians? Combine this draggy dull clunky non-swinging heavy handed imitative approach with arrogant and ignorant "jazz police" attitudes and you get a train wreck of cultural irrelevance. Yes, written on the day after the great Wayne Shorter's death. The phrase "a candle in sunshine" comes to mind.

Beautiful

Beautiful tune . Very very nice solo. Alex is a unique musician.

Boo.

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing. God bless Barry Harris!

Bravo!!!

Chris Anderson's work should be more widely recognized and celebrated. He is an American national treasure. Thank you for posting this Karen G.

Yes

Where did you get these?

Amazing you only recently uploaded - I’ve been trawling the internet for a rendition of this poignant Barry Harris song. Great work and God bless for recording and putting it up!

Flowing like the FEEL of clean COOL water on your skin on a hot day. With a rainbow in the sky ✅

Incredible playing and such a shame Frank's playing is so unavailable/unrecorded.

The first person to tell me about Chris is a guy from Memphis named Tony Garrett. When I moved to New York in 1993-94 the second person was Jason Lindner. The next person was Larry Willis. I never sat with him for a lesson yet one only needed to be in the room as he manipulated a song in and out of his harmonic suggestions while emotionally ‘changing the room’. I did have the opportunity to sit in with Little Jimmy Scott at the Blue Note. I got the same feeling from this experience as well…life-changing. Beautiful to see people recognizing his greatness now although we students of the university of the ‘streets’ have carried this awareness for many years. Herbie Hancock lecturing at Harvard may have needed to happen to bring more awareness to such a monumental figure yet it is also ok to listen to lesser known beings that simply share this unique history with an incredibly unique spirit while he roamed the planet-Chris Anderson..

This is great! Thank you. Here's a new one from Chris Anderson... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqvJdotqg7mnmKs

Thank you Barry Harris for the recommendation!

As good as it gets.

Charles Lloyd's FB tribute post to Chris Anderson brought me here! Can't believe I hadn't heard this wonderful artist before...

🖤🖤🖤

Բրավո! Great playing! You guys sound really good

I REMEMBERR YOU FRANK... UNIVERSITY OF THE STREET JAM SESSION...

Bebop!! It lives!!

Thank you for this. Chris was my teacher and mentor, for both music and life. It was like a thunder struck when I first heard his music. The sensation led me to search for him, determined to study with him. Years later, I met him at Bradley's and begged him for just one lesson. And then, it was every week, we got together, played side by side, song by song, for hours. How precious, his words, his music. His warmth, beauty penetrated in each tone, note and harmony. I hear you, Chris. Those days are like gems to me. Your music lives, no question about it. It keeps me going. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

Chris was "family" and one of our closest and dearest friends.

@ Karen Grigoryan: One can also hear the influence of impressionists Debussy and Ravel in the work of the classically trained jazz pianist Bill Evans. The sublimely sensitive ear and depth of beauty in the work of both of these enormously gifted yet deeply humble artists is truly phenomenal. Evans was born in 1929. As a contemporary of Anderson's, I have, however, yet to come across any information about either having crossed each other's paths in person, or their thoughts of each other's work - including in concert pianist Peter Pettinger's stupendous biography: "Bill Evans: How My Heart Sings." That said, I can appreciate Anderson's little need or interest to listen to other pianists, following the seminal influence of Cole, Tatum & Ellington upon him. Indeed, once a true artist finds his/her own voice, the focus is to improve and refine one's hearing of that voice toward and to its hilt. Accordingly, distractions to that natural, internal imperative and its (indeed, divinely-sourced) creative drive fall by the way side. Still, I would be sad to read that either Anderson or Evans did not, at least once, hear the other play in-person. Short of that, they surely must have held each other's work in deep respect. Perhaps more so, given their kindred harmonic sensibilities, if not also the weight of their respective personal trials...

@ Karen Grigoryan: thank you very much for this upload. And for your comprehensive, well-written bio of Mr. Anderson. One is deeply moved both by his artistry and his life. How grateful we can be for even the few recordings extant of his music. I, faithfully, hope that the proposed extensive collection of his artistry will indeed by fulfilled. Again, thank you. And may Chris Anderson forever play... in peace.

The fine Chicago trumpeter Art Hoyle described his music to me as "like a beautiful little butterfly on the keys." I was lucky enough to hear him at a Chicago Jazz Fest (in Ira Sullivan's Band, I think) and at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase in the "after-fest sessions). He was very special.

Barry Harris brought me here! He was right when he said.. "I've never heard anyone play like that in my life."

Herbie’s lecture series brought me here. His harmonic structure is as Herbie described, very heavily influenced by Ravel and Debussy which Herbie said influenced jazz musicians in the 20s and 30s but was shelved sometime thereafter. Planning to listen to lots more Chris Anderson.

Wonderful
