Chris Anderson

Never knew about Chris Anderson, until I heard Barry Harris talking about him in a masterclass.

Been pretty much listening to him non-stop for the past couple of weeks.

Chris Anderson was an underrated pianist who made very few records as a leader. I have one of his albums on CD, My Romance, a 1960 VeeJay recording.

Check out Anderson's recording, "A Blues One." I believe this one is with Ray Drummond and Billy Higgins.

Anyone know a good source for his recordings?

I got my copy of >None But The Lonely Heart< from a NAIM high fidelity dealer.

Here's a link for two solo recordings.

Ron: wasn't that the Chris who used to be on Jazz Corner?

Scott is correct, June. His bio is beneath the photo. Click on his name.

Thanks. I didn't remember his last name.

[A. Kingstone]

I think he left in a huff but I always enjoyed his posts.

He's also a stylish dude and a great shot blocker.

Yeah, he blew up when Lois "allowed" Stanley Crouch to join JC.

Not quite, Scott. Lois contacted Stanley and urged him to join her forum and give me an argument. That's what I objected to, she was trying to create controversy so she could drum up business. I used to help her with the forum, but she turned out to be rather disgusting and unprincipled. The two actually deserve each other.

You should check out my blog sometime: Stomp-Off

I just found this interesting clip with Chris Anderson singing as well as playing piano.
