Freddie Hubbard


I've always appreciated jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, but for some reason I was late in adding his work to my collection. Then about five years ago, I found his 1967 album, Backlash, on vinyl. And I was hooked. He played with such fire and much swag. The hunt was on for more of his stuff: Breaking Point, High Blues Pressure and more.

Hubbard, who played with luminaries such as Cannonball Adderley, Monk, Coltrane, Miles and then became a jazz giant himself, died December 30 a month after suffering a heart attack. He was 70. He was also a hell of horn man, as the clip above suggests.
