[Dixielandjazz] Freddie Green Solo

[Randy Fendrick]

I have an album of Freddie Green and Al Cohn and from that I would say 
that he does solo, BUT in going back and listening to a couple of the 
tunes he does nothing more than he did on every Basie album I ever 
heard and that was to lay down the most impeccable rhythm that any 
guitar player could.  Oh, to play with a rhythm section like that!
