In 2000 it was the Fred Anderson Trio that commemorated the leader's 71st, with Taylor and Tatsu Aoki on bass. Labeled an "official bootleg" (and distributed in limited supply), Birthday Live 2000 captures Anderson as a steamroller running roughshod over the bedrock rhythms established by Taylor's skilled work around the rims and Aoki's resonating neck-bending. The sound at times is rawer than we're used to from Anderson recordings. On "Track 1" the tenor has a metallic leading edge that infuses the playing with urgency and an element of danger. As the program continues, it's Anderson's authoritative blues-drenched sound and boundless creativity that whip Aoki and Taylor into shape.

There's something about the kind of conversations you can have with old friends--you can skip straight to the heart of the matter. As is the case with this trio of Fred Anderson, Tatsu Aoki and Chad Taylor who performed many times together at the Velvet Lounge. On this particular date at the turn of the millennium, it was the birthday of the heart and soul of the Velvet, tenor sax legend Fred Anderson. This very limited edition archival recording (we call it an official bootleg) is being made available as part of the celebration of Fred's 80th year of life on our planet. It is a true collectors item as only limited copies were made-- and they are being sold to benefit Fred and our beloved Velvet Lounge.
