Fred Anderson at Velvet Lounge with saxophone 333x500 Well miss you Fred!
Very sad news: Chicago jazz legend Fred Anderson has died. I had the honor to photograph Anderson several times; above is a shot taken at the new Velvet Lounge, and below is the album cover for Duets 2001 which I shot at the original location (both pictures shot for the Thrill Jockey label). Fred was beloved by countless fans and fellow musicians–Chicago won’t be the same without him. duets 2001 500x500 Well miss you Fred!

Update: Check out Peter Margasak’s obit at the Reader.

Legendary Chicago tenor-sax player Fred Anderson turns 80 later this month, and to celebrate, there will be a festival of concerts starting this Sunday, March 15th, at Fred’s own Velvet Lounge (there’ll be a show at The Hideout as well). More details, including artist lineup and dates, at Umbrella Music.
