Mr. Rhythm is the sole album led by jazz guitarist Freddie Green. The album was recorded in late 1955 for RCA Victor.

The Allmusic review by Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. stated "This album shows him to be a fine leader who is happy to remain in his role as rhythm guitarist. For fans of Green, and for those who enjoy swinging jazz with great soloists, Mr. Rhythm is a fine release." - Wkipedia

Count Basie & His Orchestra* – The Music Of Neal Hefti & Benny Carter released on Giants of Jazz in 1990

You cannot go wrong with the classic Basie band doing the music of Hefti and Carter.

The only artistocracy worth a damn is music aristocracy!
