While other West Coast jazz pianists during the Fifties and early Sixties cut their share, and some perhaps more than that, of albums for a variety of recording firms, Russ Freeman's output of records under his own name was nowhere near enough to reflect his enormous talent. 
This rare 10" LP has pianist Russ Freeman's first two sessions as a leader. Teamed with bassist Joe Mondragon and drummer Shelly Manne, Freeman (who had a laid-back but sometimes hard swinging bop style) is heard performing four originals and four standards ("You Stepped out of a Dream" "At Last," "Yesterday's Gardenias," and "Don't Worry About Me"). At the time, Freeman was a member of Shorty Rogers' group (where he played nightly alongside Manne and Mondragon), a short time before he gained some recognition for his playing with Chet Baker's quartet. Excellent music.
Thanks to his involvement in the groups of such standard bearers as Howard McGhee, Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper and Wardell Gray, he developed rapidly and when Chet Baker made his first quartet recordings in December 1952, he chose Freeman as pianist, composer and musical director. Freemans reputation also earned him a place with the Lighthouse All-Stars, Shorty Rogers Giants and, for ten years from 1955, with Shelly Manne and his Men. 
Russ Freeman (1926-2002), an extraordinary but too often underrated jazz pianist who deserves a place among the greatest.
