‎Stan Freeman Plays 30 All-Time Hits [1957]


Harmony HL 7067 

Although he only released a handful of recordings of his own, Stan Freeman was a near-omnipresent fixture on the New York jazz scene as a soloist, accompanist, and session musician for much of the 1950's and early '60s. Additionally, he attracted attention as a composer, comic writer, and raconteur, and also served as an arranger from the 1960s thru the 1980s for Marlene Dietrich and Michael Feinstein. And for a time in the early 1950s, he helped spearhead a momentary and unexpected revival of the harpsichord as a popular instrument.
