奇科.弗里曼20多年的演奏生涯里一直就在嘗試和研究不同種類的跨界音樂。他常常聯(lián)合一些民族,土風(fēng),搖滾等各界音樂演奏家來聯(lián)合演奏。他出生于芝家哥,父親就是一個薩克斯手,而他的叔叔也是一個著名的爵士樂手。因此在CHICO還是學(xué)生的時候就常常演奏爵士和藍(lán)調(diào),不過別以為他只是個街頭或酒巴樂手,CHICO可是科班出身的音樂碩士。
An excellent tenor saxophonist and the son of Von Freeman, Chico Freeman has had a busy and diverse career, with many recordings ranging from advanced hard bop to nearly free avant-garde jazz. He originally played trumpet, not taking up the tenor until he was a junior in college. Freeman graduated from Northwestern University in 1972, played with R&B groups, and joined the AACM. In 1977, he moved to New York, where he worked with Elvin Jones, Sun Ra, Sam Rivers big band, Jack DeJohnettes Special Edition, and Don Pullen, in addition to leading his own groups. He recorded a dozen albums as a leader during 1975-1982. Starting in 1984, Freeman has played on a part-time basis with the Leaders, he has recorded on a few occasions with his father and in 1989, he put together an electric band called Brainstorm. Chico Freeman has recorded through the years as a leader for Dharma, India Navigation, Contemporary, Black Saint, Elektra/Musician, Black Hawk, Palo Alto, Jazz House, and In & Out.
