Briefly profiles guitarist Freddie Green (1911-1987), who is described as having anchored the rhythm section of the
Count Basie Orchestra from 1937 until 1987. Provides an extensive examination of Green's distinctive style of
playing characterized by small chords strummed "four to the bar," which has come to be called the "Freddie Green
style."
