"Freddie Freeloader" is a composition by Miles Davis and is the second track on his 1959 album Kind of Blue. The piece takes the form of a twelve-bar blues in B♭, but the chord over the final two bars of each chorus is an A♭7, not the traditional B♭7 followed by either F7 for a turnaround or some variation of B♭7 for an ending. Davis employed Wynton Kelly as the pianist for this track in place of Bill Evans, as Kelly was something of a blues specialist. The solos are by Kelly, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley and Paul Chambers.

  • "Freddie Freeloader" is a composition by Miles Davis and is the second track on his 1959 album Kind of Blue. The piece takes the form of a twelve-bar blues in B♭, but the chord over the final two bars of each chorus is an A♭7, not the traditional B♭7 followed by either F7 for a turnaround or some variation of B♭7 for an ending. Davis employed Wynton Kelly as the pianist for this track in place of Bill Evans, as Kelly was something of a blues specialist. The solos are by Kelly, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley and Paul Chambers. The origin of the title is disputed. Jon Hendricks and Kind of Blue chronicler Ashley Kahn claim that Fred Tolbert was a Philadelphia bartender whose business card read "Freddie the Freeloader". According to the documentary Kind of Blue: Made in Heaven, and an anecdote from the jazz pianist Monty Alexander, the piece was named after an individual named Freddie who would frequently try to see the music Davis and others performed without paying (thus freeloading). The name may have also been inspired by Red Skelton’s most famous character, "Freddie the Freeloader" the hobo clown. Jon Hendricks, on the eponymous record, added vocalese-style lyrics to all of the original solos (himself singing Coltrane's part), reimagining it as a story about a barman who allowed jazz musicians to freeload at his bar at the expense of other patrons.

  • Freddie Freeloader est une composition de Miles Davis qui figure en deuxième position sur l'album Kind of Blue. Le morceau est un blues de douze mesures en Si. Son originalité est que l'accord des deux dernières mesures est un La sept (Ab7) et non un Si sept (Bb7) comme dans le blues traditionnellement. C'est le seul morceau de l'album Kind of Blue où Wynton Kelly remplace Bill Evans au piano. Wynton Kelly était le pianiste attitré du groupe de Miles Davis à cette époque, toutefois pour l'enregistrement de Kind of Blue, Miles Davis a souhaité engager Bill Evans, ce dernier étant plus enclin à suivre l'exploration des modes. Il garde toutefois Wynton Kelly sur Freddie Freeloader en tant que spécialiste du blues. Les chorus sont pris par Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley et Wynton Kelly. Selon le documentaire Kind of Blue: Made in Heaven, le titre a été choisi d'après un certain Freddie, personnage qui voulait régulièrement venir écouter le groupe de Miles Davis en concert, sans payer (d'où le Freeloader). Le nom pourrait aussi avoir été inspiré par le personnage le plus célèbre de Red Skelton, « Freddie the Freeloader ». Selon l'auteur Ian Carr, Freddie Freeloader (« Freddie le pique-assiette ») « est le surnom d'un barman de Philadelphie, fou de jazz qui traînait de boîte en boîte et rendait de menus services aux musiciens ».

  • Freddie Freeloader è una composizione di Miles Davis, contenuta nel famoso disco Kind of Blue registrato dal trombettista nel 1959. Il brano ha la forma del classico blues in 12 battute. La versione incisa è in si bemolle, ed è suonata da Davis (tromba), John Coltrane (sax tenore), Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (sax contralto), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (contrabbasso) e Jimmy Cobb (batteria). È l'unico brano del disco Kind Of Blue in cui il piano è suonato da Wynton Kelly, in tutti gli altri brani il pianista è invece Bill Evans. Il tema è esposto dai fiati arrangiati in sezione di Davis, Coltrane e Cannonball Adderley, con il piano che fa da contrappunto. Gli assoli sono nell'ordine di: Wynton Kelly (4 chorus), Miles Davis (6 chorus), John Coltrane (5 chorus), Cannonball Adderley (5 chorus), Paul Chambers (2 chorus). Il titolo Freddie Freeloader ("Freddie lo scroccone"), sembra si riferisca a Fred Tolbert, un barista di Filadelfia, amico di Miles Davis. (it)
