Live At the Velvet Lounge
   Fred Anderson (tenor saxophone)
   Peter Kowald (bass)
   Hamid Drake (percussion)

"Here Fred plays with two equals.  If anyone knows Fred's music it's Hamid Drake, an astonishing drummer who's worked with him for about 25 years.  The German bassist, Peter Kowald, is rightfully a legend--listen to him here playing things that he's never done before.  The music is spontaneous and carved out of Fred's language, a language that's flexible and open enough to deal with this first encounter and with ideas developed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.   Those of us that caught the concert that night saw and heard something that will stay with us forever.  Those of you who couldn't be there are luck enough to have this document in your hands.  Duke Ellington said that there are only tow kinds of music, good and bad.  Listen to Live at the Velvet Lounge closely, This is as good as it gets."  Ken Vandermark, from the liner notes
