In 1970 Freddie Hubbard's career reached a crossroads. Ten years after the trumpeter had released his debut album Open Sesamehe could already take stock in an impressive array of achievements: around a dozen albums under his own name for Blue Note and Atlantic, participation in ground-breaking free jazz albums by Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, the development of an original sound somewhere between hard bop , soul, and fusion. From there he broke out and into his popular phase with CTI Records. At the same time this MPS album loomed on the horizon as a milestone. Hubbard recorded the album at the MPS studios in Villingen, Germany during a break in his European tour, thus we get to experience a musician and his world-class quintet spontaneously interacting in an open setting. Those who are familiar with the many dreamy versions of the standard without a songwill be thrilled with this 13-minute escapade spotlighting the band's unbridled play. Hubbard's dialogue with saxophonist Eddie Daniels and drummer Louis Hayes' powerful impulse crown the piece. The energy and enthusiasm increases on Just One of Those Things , as the players unleash an incredible chain of hard-bopping staccato lines. Hubbard dedicates the playful Blues For Duane to his son; bassist Richard Davis grounds the piece in a light-hearted, earthy feel. Hubbard reveals his radiant melodic prowess as he interprets The Things We Did Last Summer in broadly swinging arcs, congenially supported by Roland Hanna's piano harmonies. Davis has another shining moment as he brings the piece to an end with just the right pensive touch.

    The best jazz album

    Posted by Tom on 8th Mar 2022

    The Hub of Hubbard is what you could expect from Freddie seeing him live on a good night, but this is a studio record. It is easily one of the best jazz albums ever produced. Freddie shows off the full extent of his talents and all the musicians shine. It's a very collaborative effort.
