"Mr. Rhythm" was the only album recorded under the leadership of Freddie Green, the jazz world's greatest rhythm guitarist, and Count Basie's heartbeat in the rhythm section. Green composed eight of the twelve tunes on this enjoyably grooving set. His lean, built-riff ideas are engaging and sustaining, and the arrangements by Al Cohn (3), Ernie Wilkins (5), and Manny Albam (4), remain loose and swinging. The music is graced by some superb colleagues, with Joe Newman and Al Cohn, in particular, outstanding, and the rhythm section, with Freddie's mastery of the "rhythm wave," Nat Pierce's authoritative piano, Milt Hinton's full sound on bass, and the flowingly musical jazz drumming of Jo Jones-who alternates with Osie Johnson-is something special.
