Recorded for Low Key Productions, Make It Happen encompasses a rich dynamic spectrum as George Freeman employs all of the digital wizardry of the latest technology. With Make It Happen, all of the facets of Freeman’s ever-evolving artistry are highlighted in vivid detail. But it is the instrument from his youth that infuses the tracks with the requisite warmth. “Last year, I purchased an acoustic piano. You can’t beat the feel of a real instrument in my opinion. It’s vintage and it gives so much depth and richness.”

As a musical director and bandleader, the demands on George’s time and creative energies are considerable. “When you are in the process of doing everything for everyone else — putting shows and bands together — it is music all of the time. And because you don’t see the immediate gratification or payment from a solo project, you tend to keep putting it off. But a friend of mine put out his album and I watched him in the process. I thought, ‘I’ve played behind people who do this, why don’t I give it a shot?’” A thoughtful, analytical player and composer, George is proud of the influences that he distills into his own creative identity. “I hope my music is an enlightening part of my listeners’ lives, a soundtrack that allows them to relax, and think back with some good listening music.”
