Freddie Green Mr. Rhythm

Description: Personnel: Freddie Green (g), Joe Newman (tp), Al Cohn (ts, b-cl), Henry Coker (tb), Nat Pierce (p), Milt Hinton (b), Jo Jones, Osie Johnson (d) Mr. Rhythm was the only album recorded under the leadership of Freddie Green, the jazz worlds greatest rhythm guitarist, and Count Basies heartbeat in the rhythm section. Green composed eight of the twelve tunes on this reissue CD, an enjoyably grooving set. His lean, built-riff ideas are engaging and sustaining, and the arrangements by Al Cohn, Ernie Wilkins, and Manny Albam, remain loose and swinging. The music is graced by some superb colleagues, with Joe Newman and Al Cohn, in particular, outstanding, and the rhythm section, with Freddies mastery of the rhythm wave, Nat Pierces authoritative piano, Milt Hintons full sound on bass, and the flowingly musical jazz drumming of Jo Joneswho alternates with Osie Johnsonis something special.
