Hard-Boiled Wonderland
by Vijay Anderson
About This Release
An album led by drummer Vijay Anderson, an American improviser active on the West Coast and New York creative-music scenes. Released by Not Two in 2010, Hard-Boiled Wonderland — its title nodding to the Haruki Murakami novel — reflects Anderson's literate, wide-ranging approach to contemporary jazz and free improvisation.
