Chuck Anderson Trio: Live at Chaplin’s Music Cafe Full Concert Footage

This digital copy of self-produced DVD (now made available for you for free on a streaming video) is a gem, with over an hour of straight ahead, guitar trio jazz featuring Chuck Anderson, a virtuoso player who is sheer pleasure to hear. The disc aims to recreate a live performance by showcasing Anderson’s group in a nightclub setting, with high definition sound and clear, simply structured video imaging that gives a sense of “being there,” without distracting from the music itself.

Chaplin’s Music Cafe is an off the beaten track venue located in Spring City, PA northwest of Norristown, within an hour of Philadelphia, Wilmington or Trenton. It features diverse musical genres from folk to pops, interspersed with periodic appearances of fine jazz musicians. Its black stage background interspersed with stars of light provides an unobtrusive frame for the musicians. The audience is respectful, perhaps because the performance is being recorded, and there is virtually no sound from chat or clinking glasses, only polite applause.
