When Bud Freeman first matured, his was the only strong alternative approach on the tenor to the harder-toned style of Coleman Hawkins and he was an inspiration for Lester Young. Freeman, one of the top tenors of the 1930s, was also one of the few saxophonists (along with the slightly later Eddie Miller) to be accepted in the Dixieland world and his oddly angular but consistently swinging solos were an asset to a countless number of hot sessions.
Freeman, excited (as were the other members of the Austin High School Gang in Chicago) by the music of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, took up the C-melody sax in 1923, switching to tenor two years later. It took him time to develop his playing, which was still pretty primitive in 1927 when he made his recording debut with the McKenzie-Condon Chicagoans. Freeman moved to New York later that year and worked with Red Nichols Five Pennies, Roger Wolfe Kahn, Ben Pollack, Joe Venuti, Gene Kardos and others. He was starred on Eddie Condons memorable 1933 recording The Eel. After stints with Joe Haymes and Ray Noble, Freeman was a star with Tommy Dorseys Orchestra and Clambake Seven (1936-38) before having a short unhappy stint with Benny Goodman (1938). He led his short-lived but legendary Summe Cum Laude Orchestra (1939-40) which was actually an octet, spent two years in the military and then from 1945 on alternated between being a bandleader and working with Eddie Condons freewheeling Chicago jazz groups. Freeman travelled the world, made scores of fine recordings and stuck to the same basic style that he had developed by the mid-30s (untouched by a brief period spent studying with Lennie Tristano). Bud Freeman was with the Worlds Greatest Jazz Band (1968-71), lived in London in the late 70s and ended up back where he started, in Chicago. He was active into his 80s and a strong sampling of his recordings are currently available on CD.
