Sad news.

Time to spin that duet disc with Fred Anderson again tonight!

[mjazzg]

A shame indeed and doubly so that he felt so "left out" in his last years

Thank you for all you gave, Mr. Barry. I hope you're at peace.

The Thrill Jockey CD with Fred Anderson is a great one. https://www.amazon.com/Duets-2001-Live-Empty-Bottle/dp/B00005BGIX

RIP. Saw him once in duo with Brötzmann at the Empty Bottle, and his playing was so subtle and masterful. PB was clearly in awe, even if it was a slightly odd match.

Wish I'd seen that duo.

Brötzmann's choice of drummer is usually pretty impeccable, I find.

yeah, I think the next night was with Nasheet Waits, perhaps the first time they played together? Would've been '02 or '03 at the latest.

Somehow missed this thread. R.I.P.

Love the Duets 2001 album with Fred Anderson.
