king ubu Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 So who's the singer on the fascinating youtube-track mentioned above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 For Von Freeman completists: I was listening to Jimmy Witherspoon's Vee-Jay recording of "K.C. Loving" from 1959 the other day and wondered who the tenor sax soloist was. I checked a discography and the listing said Von Freeman. I took another listen and it does have his sound, though the solo is a relatively short one. Anyone else who has the recording is welcome to offer an opinion.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Is that the track that was on the VJ LP 'The blues'? I seem to remember it was called 'Kansas City' on that LP. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 If this is the cut, I would have guessed Red Holloway before I would Von! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Weiss Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) This is the shit right here: Von Freeman, Pat Patrick, Andrew Hill, Malachi Favors and Wilbur Campbell. Edited November 20, 2015 by Michael Weiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 The other side is a Freeman feature on Von's After Dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) ever tell you guys about the night Patrick and Wilbur Ware doubled-teamed me to try and borrow some money? Geez, I was only 16. sorry, off topic, but this made me think of that. Edited November 21, 2015 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the tenor player's sound is a little less "juicy" than Red Holloway's, but who knows? Red Holloway certainly did a lot of studio work on r&b and blues sessions at that time. Discographies can be wrong, so it's not written in stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
