Alyn Shipton presents a selection of listeners' requests in all styles of jazz, including a track from the Chris Anderson/Charlie Haden duo.

The blind Chicagoan pianist Chris Anderson was a local legend who had not recorded until 1996, when bassist Charlie Haden set up a duo session for him, revealing one of the least well-known and original improvisers in jazz

In this week's selection of listeners' requests in all styles of jazz, Alyn Shipton plays a track from the Anderson / Haden duo that reveals not only Anderson's fine talent, but his empathy for one of the greatest bassists in jazz.
