One For The Road: Happy Birthday, Fred Anderson

By Samantha Abernethy in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 22, 2012 10:30PM

Fred Anderson was one of the best jazz musicians to call Chicago home. The jazz tenor saxophonist was also the proprietor of Velvet Lounge, what used to be one of the best jazz clubs in the city. Velvet Lounge is now-defunct, having passed away along with Anderson in 2010.

Below is a video of Anderson playing "Black Woman" with Hamid Drake.
