GEORGE FREEMAN picture
George Freeman is an American jazz guitarist. He was born on Apr 10, 1927 in Chicago, Illinois.

By mid-1947, Freeman was a member of a sextet led by Johnny Griffin and Joe Morris and supporting touring musicians such as Lester Young and Charlie Parker. He recorded with Parker for the Savoy label.

In the mid-'50s, he started a long association with organist Richard "Groove" Holmes, appearing as sideman and song contributor on Holmes' World Pacific and Prestige.

After touring with Gene Ammons and Shirley Scott, Freeman decided against any more road work and has been based in Chicago.

He is the brother of tenor saxophonist Von Freeman and drummer Eldridge "Bruz" Freeman and the uncle of Chico Freeman. George and Von collaborated frequently throughout their careers.

His debut solo album, Birth Sign (1969), featured saxophonist Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre and organist Sonny Burke.

Other musicians he has worked with include Ben Webster, Illinois
