Fred brought together his 70s band, together with guest, fellow veteran tenorist, Kidd Jordan for the festival. I'll let the music speak for itself. The band was really smoking that night. This is the best Fred Anderson recording I've ever heard.
Thanks to billien for seeding. Link in comments.

    Wow -- what a great recording. For all the dozens of times Fred Anderson and Kidd Jordan have played together, the only recording we have of them is the Eremite double CD. It's wonderful -- and if pushed, I'd say I still prefer the clear counterpoint between the two to this -- but it isn't enough. It's also terrific to hear a mix in which Billy Brimfield sounds bright and not muffled. Terrific player, but it's hard to get close to what he's doing on the older recordings.

    Many, many thanks!

    this looks like a great show. I saw kidd jordon about a year ago and I couldn't believe the power that guy gets out of his horn - it was like he was tearing I-beams in half. great assembly of players here, and pretty much anything with Hamid Drake on it is worth hearing in my book. thank you.

    Beautiful!
    The Eremite record, "Two Days in April" (with William Parker and Hamid Drake) is also a must-hear.

    I was excited to find this concert recording. Very high quality. Unfortunately, though lucky that the link is still up, for some reason the first piece cuts out in the middle of the music at 9:40 in, and it's supposed to be 40 minutes long. As such, a re-up would be worthwhile, and fans should avoid downloading it until this happens to avoid similar frustration. Nevertheless, thanks to all for a wonderful resource.

    HI Jazzhound - the first track is OK and plays perfectly for a bit more than 40 minutes. I've just tried it. Downloaded it, unpacked it and played the music.
    Maybe you would like to dl it again and unpack it with win-rar. At least that's the software I used.
    Cheers
