If you want or need Freddie Green-type guitar comping and you can’t play the part yourself nor get anyone to play it for you, Authentic Samples have just released a more than decent solution: their Jazz Anthology Guitar.
“A highly realistic Kontakt instrument purpose-built for classic "4-to-a-bar" acoustic archtop jazz guitar comping. Masterfully recorded at iconic Sear Sound studio in NYC, the instrument includes 6 mic positions (including a vintage Gibson GA-50 tube amp), 20 mix presets, and comprehensive FX processing. From quintessential swingin’ single note lines to full chords, Jazz Anthology Guitar delivers an essential component of the classic jazz rhythm section with elegant simplicity and convincing results.”
Regular price will be $119, introduction price is $79.
Here's a video of the great Freddie Green in action with The Count Basie Orchestra, the rhythm section of which (Basie, Green, Sonny Payne and Eddie Jones) is by many considered the best (swing jazz) rhythm section of all time.
