Serenade presents Bud Freeman Great Saxophonist and His MusicHe became one of the first great innovators on tenor sax. He played with swing bands led by Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey, but Bud Freeman was happiest leading his own smaller, hot jazz bands. Listen to recordings of Bud Freeman playing his compositions like “The Eel,� and you can hardly believe that he had little formal musical training. Except for a few basic lessons when he was a kid, his music education consisted of “total immersion� in live jazz performances. Comments[0] |
