Von Freeman died on Saturday August 11 - he was 88. It might be said that Freeman was the player everybody had heard of but, outside of Chicago, had never heard!
Listen to this example of his minimalist approach to Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.
From the Chicago Tribune obituary;
“They said I played out of tune, played a lot of wrong notes, a lot of weird ideas,” Freeman told the Tribune, in 1992.
“But it didn't matter, because I didn't have to worry about the money – I wasn't making [hardly] any. I didn't have to worry about fame – I didn't have any.
“I was free.”
RIP.
Lance.
