Clifton Elliot Anderson (born October 5, 1957) is an American jazz trombonist.
Early life
Anderson was born in New York City on October 5, 1957.[1] "His mother was a singer and his father was an organist."[1] When he was seven, Anderson's uncle, saxophonist Sonny Rollins, bought him his first trombone.[2] Anderson attended the High School of Music and Art in New York,[2] and graduated from the Manhattan School of Music in 1978.[3]
Later life and career
Anderson joined Rollins's band in 1983.[2] Other bands he has played in include Frank Foster's Loud Minority, Carlos Garnett's Cosmos Nucleus, Slide Hampton's World of Trombones, and McCoy Tyner's big band.[1] Anderson's debut album as a leader was Landmarks, which was recorded in 1995 for Milestone Records.[4][5] A further album, Decade, was released by Doxy around 2008.[6] Anderson explained the difficulties he had between recordings: "Landmarks was played fairly regularly on the radio and the critics thought it was good, so I assumed I'd be able to get a gig. But [...] I was offered jobs for such bad money that I couldn't accept, if only because I wanted to be able to pay my sidemen something."[3]
Anderson's third album as leader was And So We Carry On, from around 2013.[7]
The trombone player's most recent album is Been Down This Road Before from 2020, featuring vocalist Andy Bey and musicians Renee McLean, Antoine Roney, Eric Wyatt, Peter Bernstein, John F. Adams, Monty Alexander, Stephen Scott, Tadataka Unno, Buster Williams, Tom Barney, Ronnie Burrage, Al Foster, Steve Jordan, Sammy Figueroa, and Victor See Yuen.
Playing style
"Anderson plays with an assured, full tone, and draws from the style of Curtis Fuller, although he also employs pre-bop devices, such as slides and smears."[1]
