Does anyone know if Chico is his given name or a nickname arising from being the son of Von Freeman? Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 07:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Support split - Discography section takes up close to one third of the page and should be split to a new article entitled Chico Freeman discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:44, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Either the picture is mirrored or Chice is playing a mirrored saxophone (right hand on top). That would be a first. ~2026-22472-3 (talk) 16:41, 11 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Request to add family information

Latest comment: 28 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Chico Freeman. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.

Summary of request: Add information about Chico Freeman's daughter

The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 1624 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

Hello,

I would like to propose a small addition to the personal life section of Chico Freeman’s biography.

I am Nelli Gasparyan, Chico Freeman’s wife and the mother of his daughter. I am disclosing this family connection in accordance with Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest guidelines.

Suggested addition:

“Chico Freeman has a daughter, whom he discussed in a 2017 interview with the Armenian newspaper Golos Armenii. He has also publicly dedicated his composition ‘Dance of Light for Luani’ to his daughter Luani.”

Sources:

Golos Armenii, interview by Tigran Mirzoyan, “Геноцид армян должны признать все”: https://golosarmenii.am/genocid-armyan-dolzhny-priznat-vse/
Armenpress, November 11, 2014: https://armenpress.am/ru/article/783473
Video of Chico Freeman dedicating the composition to his daughter: https://youtu.be/ZWmkseSnEV0

I would appreciate it if an independent Wikipedia editor could review these sources and consider adding the information.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
