remembering fred anderson
(1929 -2010)
a kwasaba

chicago legend, lone prophet on the prairie

booed off the band stand in ’60
@ the fifth jacks club in the

town he made his home. but stayed,

played his free jazz in their heads,
made
their hearts embrace him; know the
canny prophet in his own home town.

  1. Remembering Fred Anderson, in this short poem, it stated that the band started in the year 1960 at the fifth jacks club in the town Fred made his home. Fred was born in the year of 1929 and died in 2010. He used to play his free jazz in the people heads. He made them love him with their hearts. He knew the canny prophet in his own home town. When ever he played, he closed his eyes so that he could feel the songs.
