Chicago's grand tenor man Earle Lavon "Von" Freeman Sr. (October 3, 1923 - August 11, 2012) was a revered and most loved elder of the jazz scene in the Windy City. Von has been on producer Nils Winther's top priority list of the musicians he wanted to record. The dream came true in the late spring of 1992, when Von was 72. Von's powerful tenor is tastefully supported by his trusted rhythm section of Jodie Christian (piano), Eddie de Haas bass) and Wilbur Campbell (drums).."This is an excellent introduction to the Chicago style of tenor playing and to four extremely creative musicians at their peaks." (Cadence)
