A Night at the Velvet Lounge Made in Chicago 2007 is an album by American jazz saxophonist Fred Anderson which, despite its title, was recorded live in Poznań, Poland, at the second Made in Chicago Festival, and released by Estrada Poznańska, a small Polish cultural arts agency. Anderson is accompanied by basssit Harrison Bankhead and 8 Bold Souls drummer Dushun Mosley.[1]
Reception
In an article for the Chicago Reader Bill Meyer notes that "Mosley's shifts between relaxed swing and edgy funk keep his partners on their toes, and the CD's high point comes when his lively calypso beat on 'Gin and Bourbon Street' prompts Anderson to channel his inner Sonny Rollins."[2]
