About the artists:

Fred Jackson, Jr. - The Erudition Project

This project celebrates the migration of the sound that travels from Texas to Chicago. This sound became known as avant-garde or free jazz. Although these compositions highlight people or episodes in life that inspired Fred. They are also based on concepts that he has heard or has been working on. He dedicates this project specifically to John Carter and Bobby Bradford for whom were some of the pioneers of this approach. 

John Carter and Ornette Coleman went to I.M. Terrell highschool together back in the 40’s It was Ornette who encouraged Carter and Bradford to form a group. The John Carter / Bobby Bradford Quartet. This is his tribute to that quartet and the sound and style that they expressed. The openness and orchestration of this group allows one to explore and investigate in an unrestricted manner as if one were free. Free as if the only requirement of oneself is to listen then respond in their own unique way. Which takes us back to music's truest form... “Call and Response.”
