FREDDIE HUBBARD - THE MELTING POT

("Life Flight", Blue Note, 1987)

Freddie Hubbard is a very important jazz trumpeter, who started his leader career on Blue Note, in 1960. 

I love Hubbard's sound... Certainly one of the most influencial of modern jazz.

He died December 29, 2008, but his albums are still with us, and this one is so good !

I just call it "the groove", isn't it ?

Freddie Hubbard : trumpet
