Tuesdays on the Terrace Fred Anderson Legacy

About

Enjoy an evening of free music on the MCA’s Anne and John Kern terrace and sculpture garden with our annual summer performance series highlighting artists from Chicago’s internationally renowned jazz community.

The iconic saxophonist Fred Anderson is again celebrated at the MCA with an annual tribute by the artists who helped create the legacy of sound at the Velvet Lounge, Anderson's legendary music venue. Featuring Anderson's long-standing bassist Tatsu Aoki, reedists Mwata Bowden and Eward Wilkerson, drummer Avreeayl Ra, and special guest, saxophonist Ari Brown, the Legacy Band is celebrating the CD release of an archival recording, Fred Anderson Quintessential Birthday Trio: Vol. II.

Hosted by Al Carter-Bey, WHPK 88.5 FM, University of Chicago.
