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.




Chris Albertson

Thanks. I didn't remember his last name.

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

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

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.

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