Abe Inc photos - January 2011

Fred has been on a tour the past week with the klezmer-funk-hip hop collaboration Abraham Incorporated. The tour hit Winston-Salem and Raleigh, North Carolina, and Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, and will finish up Wednesday at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City.

Fred's longtime running buddy and musical cohort Maceo Parker, home in Kinston, N.C., came to the Raleigh show with some relatives, including his son and bandmate Corey Parker, who lives in Raleigh.

Here are some pictures. Enjoy.
