AACM founding member/Velvet Lounge owner Fred Anderson teams up with percussionist Hamid Drake for back to back performances at the Stop Smiling Headquarters in Wicker Park (tonight), and tomorrow evening at the Velvet Lounge. The duo released an album on April 24th entitled From the River to the Ocean to much critical acclaim, and have further etched their legacy of musicianship and talent to the Chicago Jazz scene. They will be joined by Josh Abrams, Jeff Parker (of local heroes Tortoise), and Harrison Bankhead, all of whom contributed to the latest record.
