[Dixielandjazz] Freddie Green Solo

[Patrick Cooke]

I heard Basie introduce him once, stating how many years he had been with 
the band, and that he had never played a solo.  I don't remember how long 
ago that was.
   I later saw Freddy with one of the post-Count bands.  He was still 
playing unamplified, and didn't take any solos that night.
