Trumpeter and jazz great Freddie Hubbard will be musically celebrated at Abyssinian Baptist Church Saturday, January 10 beginning at 1pm and is celebrated online with his official website: freddiehubbardmusic.com
Mr Hubbard is one of the greatest trumpeters in our time, with that said we’re honored to somewhat compliment this celebration today as we’re featuring two contrasting recordings from the “Songs of Hubbard” musical songbook recorded over the years. If you also dig his music drop us a note and let us know what’s you favorite albums by Freddie Hubbard.

Freddie Hubbard
I’ll confess, I initially bought this as it was another chance to hear my favorite tenor man Hank Mobley paired with my favorite trumpet player, Freddie Hubbard. I got much more than the hard bop outing I expected, as this album is a treasure trove of fantastic horn playing and elegant soulful compositions from Hubbard. There are three different groups represented here and I won’t go into complete personnel on each as that’s covered ably by Amazon’s product description.
