Chris Anderson (February 26, 1926 – February 4, 2008) was an American jazz pianist who was active in Chicago and New York City from the 1940s to the 1960s. He played with many prominent jazz figures of the time, including Charlie Parker, though he is perhaps best known today for his influence on Herbie Hancock.
