George Freeman

Everybody Say Yeah! (Southport Records)

A truly vibrant iconoclast, guitar legend George Freeman IS jazz history. From a musical childhood that included visits to the family home by trumpeter Louis Armstrong and pianist Fats Waller, to growing up with his eldest brother Eldridge (known as Bruz) on drums and middle brother Von on the tenor saxophone, George was destined to forge his own unique sound. As a spirited side man, Freeman has performed and recorded with a long roster of jazz greats, from Gene Ammons and Richard “Groove” Holmes to Johnny Griffin He remembers a time when Charlie Parker wouldn’t go onstage without him.
