Here´s an interview by Lazaro Vega (May 15, 2002), from Velvet Lounge (the club Fred Anderson owns) website:

I´ve just listened to my first Fred Anderson disc "Fred Anderson / DKV Trio" and highly enjoyed it. Right now I´m digging "Vintage Duets Chicago 1-11-80" with Steve McCall, and "Destiny" (with Marilyn Crispell and Hamid Drake) is on the waiting-list. So I thought it would be interesting to start a "general" discussion on him (I did make a search couldn´t find any thread). All comments & suggestions are welcome!

I´ve listened to the Fred Anderson / DKV Trio Okka disk twice, and I must say I´m really impressed, possitively impressed. I´ve enjoyed it a lot. My first Fred Anderson disc (I also ordered "Destiny" and "Vintage duets" from Chuck, but haven´t heard them yet), as well as my first Ken Vandermark; so these are "virginal" comments! Anderson and Vandermark´s interplay is very interesting, their conversations filled with great fierceness on "Our theme", while there´s some calmed music on other passages. And I did like the rhythm section (I had only heard Drake on "Dried rat dog" and never heard Kessler before). As for influences, I think I can hear a lot of Ayler, specially through the most powerful blowing. Oh, and these guys have their roots on the blues as well (just hear those walking bass lines on "Lady´s in Love")! In short: very enjoyable and not too "out" for me!

But if you google "Tete Montoliu discography"....

There´s a Agustín Pérez Pardella, an Argentinian writer... And a Spanish Arts critic, Agustín Pérez Rubio... And some Agustín Pérez Bellas, Spanish (Galician) architect, painter and poet... And another Spanish poet, Agustín Pérez del Moral... And even a bullfighter, Agustín Pérez!!!! Looks like all of them have more aptitudes for Arts than I have!

I received your package today, Chuck. Thanks for the super-fast delivery! Looking forward to hearing these discs: I think I´ll play some the Fred Anderson tonight. A completely new world for me.

If I´d count every time I´ve mispelled an English word, the list would never end! :rsly:

I stand corrected, Chris. I´ve edited my first post. But... nothing I can do with the reissue cover!

Not to be punctilious, but actually it´s Hodeir and not Hodier

Great photo, Mark! This has made me revisit that wonderful picture of Lou Donaldson you sent me months ago... I still need some more space on my walls to give it deserved honours!

How can someone have a soft spot for the awful OP?

¡¡¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, DAVID!!!

Congratulations, Phil!

Been listening to a 50´s Coleman Hawkins CD compilation on GRP: "Coleman Hawkins in the 50s - Body and Soul revisited" [GRP 16272] It includes diverse material, from very commercial sides to some boppish stuff. But for me the jewel of the crown is an almost forgotten mid-50s (exact recording date unknown) session of Cozy Cole´s Big Seven: Rex Stewart on cornet, Hawk, Tyree Glenn on trombone, Billy Bauer on guitar, Arvell Shaw on bass, Claude Hopkins on piano and Cozy Cole. My GRP CD includes 5 of the 6 tunes from that session: -My blue heaven -Honeysuckle Rose -Organ Grinder´s swing -Perdido -Sweetheart´s on parade Another track was recorded: "Caravan", a drum feature for Cozy Cole that does not include Hawkins. According to liner notes, this session was orginally released on LP as Grand Award 1023. According to Lord it was Grand Award LP 33-334 (???) and it was recorded on February, 1956. Has this session ever made it on CD in a complete version?
