artto Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Well, here you go Alan Songer. Pics of Von Freeman at the 2005 Chicago Jazz Festival this last Labor Day weekend. So you see, sometimes I'm even nice to those who've pissed me off. Thanks for bringing this somewhat reclusive genius to our attention. He's everything you said he was. Sorry for the quality of some of the pictures but I gradually got as close as I could. These are all "over-my-head" held camera shots.

artto Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 I got there a little late so I don't know if I missed much off the beginning. When I got there they were playing "Summertime" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artto Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 They must have jammed on Summertime for at least 45 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artto Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Except for the pianoman, all the musicians were pretty young. The bass player was absolutely awseome, I still have to find out who he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
