THE GOOD LIFE - GEORGE FREEMAN (CD)

George Freeman has been part of jazz for nearly a century. Brother of Von and uncle of Chico
Freeman  hes worked with the greats  such as Charlie Parker and Ben Webster. Appearing on the
recording is legendary organist Joey DeFrancesco  going into the studio just a couple of months
before his untimely death. DeFrancesco admired Freemans work on a Jimmy McGriff LP so it is
quite touching that the two were able to collaborate here. Also featured on 4 tracks is bass
phenom Christian McBride stoking up some swinging performances with Freeman. Drummers Lewis
Nash and Carl Allen provide propulsive rhythms throughout. It must be said  however  that the
pulsing heart of the band is Freeman himself  who plays with integrity and enthusiasm and who
continues to bring an impressive lifetime of experience to his work. The set list includes a
standard  some hand-jive groove  a high-powered up-tempo blues with Freeman articulating some
wonderful bebop phrasing  and a breathtakingly beautiful rendition of The Good Life.
