[Album Deep Dive] Freddie Green - Mr. Rhythm (1955) (Ep. 97)
Description
In this episode of Album Deep Dives, we explore the often-overlooked compositional brilliance of legendary rhythm guitarist Freddie Green. Although best known as the quiet but unshakeable heartbeat of the Count Basie Orchestra, Freddie released only one album as a leader: Mr. Rhythm (1955). Today we dig into the musical architecture behind two of its standout tracks—Down for Double and Back and Forth—to uncover how Freddie crafted melodies, phrasing, and harmonic tension with astonishing subtlety.
