Search - George Freeman :: George Burns!

Southport Records, recording home to both George Freeman and Von Freeman heats up the winter grill with "baby" brother George Freeman's 2nd Southport Release, "George Burns!" In a world where artists strive to fit in and sound the same, George burns the mold. A bold Chicago visionary that shared the stage with Charlie Parker (Savoy), George has continued his individualist approach to life and music. And at age 73, the fire ain't going out. The new "Burn" CD features more Freeman original compositions with feisty blues-tinged titles like "Hot Box", "Vonski" (featuring Von Freeman on tenor sax), and "Messy." Burn this one-sheet cause nothing else sounds quite like this. For vocal fans, check out the Chicago sensation-- hidden treasure Ron Cooper with the lovelorn r&b/pop groove, "And She Left Me." George is backed by legendary bassist Eldee Young, with long-time companion Phil Thomas on drums and the one and only Lou Gregory on piano. Along with Cooper, vocalist Joanie Pallatto visits the stage in a tribute to brother Bruz Freeman, "Here's Bruz." Keep the first-aid kit on hand, because GEORGE BURNS!
