The exciting, horn man, Freddie Hubbard

This evening I got rip-roaringly back into top-notch trumpet work. Yes, I listened to a real jazz great soul...the elegant trumpet power man, Freddie Hubbard. His work on the fusion honed 'Red Clay" album got me so excited with all his so brash, muscular good brass guy strength. He really gained huge fame when he had that sizzling music going with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Lord, he was right there working with the so-fine Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone and Curtis Fuller on trombone. The merry and so profound jazz sounds of Curtis Fuller and Wayne Shorter are so full of huge listening thrills. Wow, Freddie Hubbard, sterling trumpet man, made fabulous music for Impulse, Atlantic, Blue Note and CTI. Another wonderful time this evening was giving a listen to Freddie Hubbard doing that soulful big horn work on the super album, 'Maiden Voyage' a fine performing job with the masterful keyboard artist, Herbie Hancock. Yes, everyone, the classic modern jazz totality of sound of Freddie Hubbard shows us what a powerhouse musical icon he was.
