The Hub Of Hubbard - Hubbard, Freddie

---

---

Ten years after trumpeter Freddie Hubbard’s debut album “Open Sesame” hit the record stores, his career reached a crossroad. He had already achieved a great deal, including his participation in the groundbreaking free-jazz movement. From this crossroads, he launched his popular phase with CTI Records. + Hubbard recorded this album at the MPS studios in Germany while he was on break from his European Tour, which created an opportunity to see this musician alongside his all-star quintet in a non-performance setting. + The cornerstone of this album is the jazz standard “Without a Song,” which Hubbard and his gang turn into a 13-minute escapade which exploits the band’s unrestrained talent, energy, and enthusiasm.
