Fred Anderson
21st Century Chase
Delmark DE 589, DVD 1589
Chicago tenor saxophone legend and proprietor of the longest standing and most adventurous avant garde jazz club in Chicago, Fred Anderson celebrated his 80th birthday in March and Delmark was there to capture it. All 3 of Fred's earlier Delmark albums were live at the Velvet but the excitement level here is unmatched and the show was sold out weeks in advance. Fred is joined by Kidd Jordan, tenor saxophone; Jeff Parker, guitar; Harrison Bankhead, bass; Chad Taylor, drums. DVD contains PCM 24 bit/48kHz stereo audio plus Dolby and DTS 5.1 Surround Sound, one bonus track featuring legendary bassist Henry Grimes, and a Fred Anderson commentary track. Also available: On The Run (Delmark 534); Back at The Velvet Lounge (549); Timeless (568, DVD 1568).

This is the second live CD by Terry Waldo's Gutbucket Syncopators

Rag (Delmark 239), has sold very well and received excellent reviews.
The Ohio Theater Concert took place on April 13, 1974 and featured Roy Tate,
trumpet; Jim Snyder, trombone; Frank Powers, clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone;
Terry Waldo, piano; Bill Moorhead, banjo; Mike Walbridge, tuba; Wayne Jones,
drums; Edith Wilson, vocals. Edith Wilson was the second African-American woman
to make phonograph records, recording a full year and a half before Bessie Smith.
The addition of nine previously unissued songs makes this CD 69 minutes of inspired
traditional jazz and ragtime. Also available: Hot House Rag (Delmark
239), and Edith Wilson's own album He MayBe Your Man (Delmark 637).

Delmark DE 587 (CD)
Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Strings (BES), rides at the forefront of jazz, new music and creative improvisation. Mitchell's "rough and edgy" aesthetic rebels from the flowery sweet flute and string stereotype the runs rampant in jazz, which makes Renegades an appropriate title for the project. On Renegades, Mitchell's compositions bring African rhythms, contemporary sounds and swinging improvisation to a chamber music setting. Mitchell's BES concept started in 1997, but this is the group's first commercial recording. The CD features Nicole Mitchell on flute, alto flute, piccolo, Renee Baker violin, viola, Tomeka Reid cello, Joshua Abrams bass, gimbre and Shirazette Tinnin drumset and percussion.

For a decade jazz cornetist Josh Berman has been a mainstay of the post-Vandermark generation of Chicago improvisers, a wide circle of ambitious musos who meet up in varied ad hoc or fixed settings: a circle including all the players in Josh's group Old Idea. He's already recorded some--as, say, part of a quartet on Chicago-Luzern Exchange alongside tenor saxophonist Keefe Jackson, with Jackson's big and small bands Project Project and Fast Citizens, with Jason Adasiewicz's quintet Rolldown and Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Orchestra. Old Idea is Josh's debut CD as leader. With Keefe Jackson, tenor sax; Jason Adasiewicz, vibes; Anton Hatwich, bass; Nori Tanaka, drums.

Delmark DE 586 (CD)
Jazz cornetist Rob Mazurek consistently pushes beyond the expectations
of his listeners, drawing together ideas out of sound, personalities out of
space, and fusing color and light into the tones of his music. The debut record

Matthew Lux on bass guitar (Isotope 217, Iron and Wine) Josh Abrams on acoustic
bass (Town and Country, Black Earth Ensemble) and Jason Adasiewicz on vibes
(Loose Assembly, Rolldown) pulls together an astounding array of personalities
into a seamless and effervescent whole. Sound Is features 14 new Mazurek compositions.
