IN SWEDEN

Description:
Born in New York City on May 29, 1928, Freddie Redd is a very talented yet obscure and underrated pianist. Despite enjoying a long life in which he never stopped playing he is near 80 at this writing, Redd has left behind a rather sparse body of recorded works. Although he played with such great jazz names as Art Blakey, Coleman Hawkins, Tina Brooks, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus & Lou Donaldson, the quantity of his recordings is sorely lacking. The quality of these recordings, however, is of the highest order. When Swedish trumpeter Rolf Ericson was commissioned to find American musicians to travel to Stockholm for a series of modern jazz concerts, Redd was chosen along with bassist Tommy Potter and drummer Joe Harris. All his trio recordings during that tour are included on this release.
