Chad Anderson is joined by world-renowned legendary percussionist, Warren Smith (NYC) on vibes, Barry Stephenson (NYC) on bass, Zoh Amba (NYC) on saxophone and flute, and Ankhitek (Washington D.C.) contributing spoken word. From soaring screams, to street swing, with corner-turning funky groove injections, the music on Mellifluous Excursions morphs and blends in the way multiple conversations might be simultaneously overheard at a family reunion. The tracks featuring the spoken word of Ankhitek fluctuate between knowledge points highlighting ancestral roots to cultural and political issues. Anderson's work can be heard within the Mahakala Music catalog on Lacrimosa (MAHA-05) with Chad Fowler, and on Ivo Perelman's recent release, Magic Dust (MAHA-024), as well as a self-released solo recording from 2020, entitled Wait and See, and his debut release, People Here from 2001. Anderson has also performed and\/or recorded with the late Henry P. Warner, Andy McCloud, Cooper-Moore, Douglas Ewart, William Parker, Kidd Jordan, Christopher Parker, Kelley Hurt, Luke Stewart, and many others within the orbit of improvisational music.\u003cp\u003ePillar For Urgency\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpirit Vectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevolution\/Revelation + Ballad For The Sound Travellers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis And That Before This And That\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort Story Long (Sunrise)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong Story Short (Moonrise)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFind The Time + Scattered Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55127823745409,"sku":"1562680","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61joS-4tqQL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766723185","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1562680","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
