Our Take

Fred Anderson and Hamid Drake's album, "From The River To The Ocean," is a delightful journey through the vast expanse of jazz. This duo effortlessly weaves together complex rhythms and intricate melodies with a sense of playfulness that is truly infectious.

Anderson's saxophone skills are on full display here, soaring and twisting through each track with a sense of urgency and purpose. Drake's drumming is equally impressive, providing the perfect foundation for Anderson's flights of fancy.

The album kicks off with the buoyant and catchy "Planet E," setting the stage for the eclectic mix of styles and influences that follow. From the soulful ballad "Ode to Wilbur Ware" to the frenetic energy of "Black Women," each track on the album offers something new and exciting for listeners to sink their teeth into.

What truly sets this album apart, however, is the chemistry between Anderson and Drake. Their musical rapport is palpable, with each musician pushing the other to new heights of creativity and expression.
