Fred Anderson Duets 2001: Live at the Empty Bottle

8 out of 10 - "...Musically free but never overpowering, muscular but still beautiful."
"...Captures the inventive urgency of Anderson's blowing....there's no padding, no filler, but lots of unexpected detours that, once executed, sound like the only viable choice..."
"...Nothing short of spectacular...One can hear and feel the blues in every note and beat of this duo's soulfully adventurous music."
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A rare encounter....Barry is steady and precise...creating patterns and setting the pace....Anderson responds with a big, effusive tone and bluesy melodies..."
