Albert James "Alan" Freed (December 15, 1921 – January 20, 1965) was an American disc jockey. He became internationally known for promoting the mix of blues, country, rhythm and blues music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of rock and roll. His career was destroyed by the payola scandal that hit the broadcasting industry in the early 1960s.

Freed is commonly referred to as the "father of rock 'n' roll" due to his promotion of the style of music, and his introduction of the phrase "rock and roll", in reference to the musical genre, on mainstream radio in the early 1950s. He helped bridge the gap of segregation among young teenage Americans, presenting music by black artists (rather than cover versions by white artists) on his radio program, and arranging live concerts attended by racially mixed audiences. Freed appeared in several motion pictures as himself. In the 1956 film Rock, Rock, Rock, Freed tells the audience that "rock and roll is a river of music which has absorbed many streams: rhythm and blues, jazz, ragtime, cowboy songs, country songs, folk songs. All have contributed greatly to the big beat.

An AMAZING collection of hard driving R&B instrumentals featuring some STUNNING Kenny Burrell guitar licks!!!! The music sounds like the soundtrack to "Touch of Evil" with lot's of hard driving Rock & Roll with killer big band charts and outstanding musicianship. Fronted through the years by tenor men of the calibre of the experienced Al Sears and Freddie Mitchell, the ubiquitous Sam “The Man” Taylor and the young King Curtis, the Alan Freed Big Band was not just a great rockin’ unit, it was also something of a last hurrah for the big bands of a previous era – bands that had been forced to downsize due to changes in public preferences and, ultimately, to the arrival of rock’n’roll itself.
