Anderson's molten sound and vocal inflections make him one of the most immediately recognizable players in jazz.
So the third night of the series, billed as "Ray Anderson Plays and Sings the Blues," balanced a down-home blues feel against his irrepressible humor and his urge to stretch things to the breaking point.
Anderson danced and mugged with abandon but was all business when he solo'd, maintaining a blues feeling even when he pushed off farthest from the tune through masterful use of mutes, growling and moaning like a Delta blues player one minute and sweetly singing like a church chorus the next.

 The Ray Anderson Quartet: Bonemeal - PopMatters Music Review
If Anderson had been born in a different time, he could easily have been one of those distinctive voices in Duke Ellington's band, so great is his command of his instrument.
Anderson is backed on this effort by a trio that includes Mark Helias on bass, Matt Wilson at the drum kit, and versatile guitarist Steve Salerno, who can turn in a lyrical solo one minute ("Green Eyes, Fireflies") and create a percussive edginess the next ("Bonemeal").
Though it's doubtful Anderson will ever be known primarily as a vocalist (or that he wishes to be), he sings and scats on this number with an exberance and jubilation worthy of Louis Armstrong.

 The History of Jazz Music. Ray Anderson: biography, discography, review, links
Anderson, a virtuoso of multiphonics and a schoolmate of trombonist George Lewis, was one of the musicians who pushed the limits of the trombone after the neglect of the bebop years.
Anderson debuted on Oahspe (november 1978) in a trio with bassist Mark Helias and drummer Gerry Hemingway that was a slicker version of Barry Altschul's free-jazz trio (in which both Anderson and Helias were playing at the time).
Anderson's style at the instrument was a lot less cerebral than Lewis', and frequently downright ironic, reminiscent of New Orleans' marching bands, Chicago's rhythm'n'blues and California's funk-rock.
