This listing offers an overview of Freddie Green's extensive work as
a side man between 1937 and 1987. These are about 95 or
so recording sessions that Freddie did outside of the Basie group. Also
listed is information about one available release for each session. It
should be noted that some sessions have been released on many separate
releases. Cataloging detail at that level would be extensive. For the
most part, this discography does not include the same session more than
once (e.g., cuts from the same session released by more than one artist
or
on different
albums
by the
same artist).
At the bottom of this page, Be sure to check out the bar graph
at the bottom of this page. It offers a visual representation of the
number of session per year. 1956 stands out especially with
19 sessions.
