Fred Anderson & Hamid Drake
From the River to the Ocean
Thrill Jockey 183LEIEC 2 LP set on limited GREEN & GOLD COLORED Vinyl
Tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson and drummer Hamid Drake had the closest of relationships, as close as a father and son might have. Their communication was at a higher level musically and emotionally. The music on this album reflects not only their masterful musical skills, but a conversation in music that is exceptionally powerful and unique.
For From the River to the Ocean, they assembled a band consisting of fellow Chicagoans to record the most relaxed, perfectly balanced album they made together. Appearing on the set are Harrison Bankhead, Jeff Parker, & Josh Abrams. It may seem hyperbolic to call From the River to the Ocean Fred Anderson's greatest album, but the empathy and cohesiveness of the ensemble, coupled with the saxophonist's brilliant, searching improvisations, makes it a powerful contender.
Tracks are;
Planet E (all of side one)
Strut Time (all of side two
For Brother Thompson
Sakti / Shiva
From the River to the Ocean (all of side four)
