Home Free (Red Rodney album)

Home Free is an album by trumpeter Red Rodney which was recorded in late 1977 and released on the Muse label in 1979.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "This excellent outing has a bit of a jam session feel to it ... By 1977, Rodney's chops were back in prime form, and his mastery of bebop is obvious in these recordings. Worth searching for".
