Von & Chico Freeman w/Hank Jones Trio - Den Haag 1990

Here's one sent to me by Trane aka sparti a few months ago. It came mostly untracked, so I did the usual bits of editing, also deleting radio talk while I was at it. Thanks go out to Trane who sent me a bunch of great shows in a trade recently!

Von has to be one of my all-time greats, and there's a post dedicated to him where you can find a bunch of shows, as well as a recording of his with Andrew Hill's trio here, and two somkin' hot 1977 sets from Amsterdam.

Chico has never been quite as big in this house, though he was a fine hot tenor early on. The pairing of him and his father is working just fine though, and with Hank Jones' trio in support, they have deluxe accompaniment here!
