1 is an album by American jazz saxophonist Fred Anderson recorded live in 1980 but not issued until 2000 by Atavistic as part of their Unheard Music Series.

20 years later, when Anderson started to garner attention issuing records more frequently, producer John Corbett released the tapes.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, Stewart Mason states "Anderson and compatriots are at the top of their game singly and collectively.

"[3] In a multiple review for JazzTimes, Harvey Pekar notes that "This is not a free-jazz date; it features five varied and impressive compositions by Anderson and Drake and contains solos based on preset structures.

"[4] The PopMatters review by Imre Szeman says that the album "not only allows us to get a glimpse of Anderson in the midst of one of the most exciting periods in his career, but also gives us a chance to hear this Olympian jazz man play live in all his glory.
