Birdhouse Inc., Constellation, and Experimental Sound Studio are proud to present the Greg Ward Quartet performing Fred Anderson, Composer; interpretations celebrating Fred Anderson’s 95th year. 

From Greg Ward’s website:

“Around his sophomore year in college, Ward started spending many nights performing in the jazz clubs of Chicago. Soon, he would meet another one of his mentors, saxophonist, Fred Anderson, who would later select him to host a jam session at the Velvet Lounge for four years. During this time period, Ward experienced much growth as a performer and composer and developed a vibrant community of performers, artists, dancers, and listeners.”

Opening the night of live music will be an archival video from ESS Creative Audio Archives and the Fred Anderson Collection, curated by Andy Pierce. There will be a second open jam set led by Greg Ward and live painting by Lewis Achenbach.

Greg Ward Quartet:

Greg Ward - Alto Sax

Justin Dillard - Piano

Ethan Philion - Bass
