Our Take

Freddie Hubbard's Blue Spirits has got us feeling some type of way. This Tone Poet release is a real treat for the ears, blending Hubbard's virtuosic trumpet playing with a tight rhythm section that grooves harder than your grandad on a dance floor.

From the opening track "Soul Surge," it's clear that Hubbard is in fine form, effortlessly gliding through complex melodies with the kind of swagger that makes you want to stand up and start dancing in your living room. The title track "Blue Spirits" is a moody ballad that showcases Hubbard's sensitive side, while the funky "Outer Forces" will have you bobbing your head uncontrollably.

The attention to detail in the production is truly top-notch, with every instrument given its own space to shine. The remastering work on this Tone Poet release is a real testament to the care and dedication that went into bringing these classic tracks back to life.

Overall, Blue Spirits is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to add some groove to their music collection. So do yourself a favour and give Freddie Hubbard's Blue Spirits a spin – your ears will thank you.

About the artist

Freddie Hubbard

Freddie Hubbard. The name alone is enough to send shivers down the spine of any jazz aficionado. With his trumpet as his weapon of choice, this legendary artist has been wowing audiences for decades with his unique blend of technical prowess and soulful expression. Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, Hubbard cut his teeth on the local jazz scene before heading off to New York City to make a name for himself. And make a name he did, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after trumpet players in the business. Hubbard's playing style is unmistakable - fiery, passionate, and always pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the trumpet. His improvisational skills are second to none, with each note he plays dripping with emotion and raw talent. But it's not just his technical ability that sets Hubbard apart. His ability to connect with his audience on a deeper emotional level is what truly sets him apart from his peers. Whether he's belting out a blistering high note or gently caressing a soft ballad, Hubbard's music is always imbued with a sense of playfulness and joy. In a career that has spanned over five decades, Hubbard has released over 40 albums as a leader and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, and Wayne Shorter. With his incredible talent, infectious personality, and boundless energy, Freddie Hubbard is a true musical force to be reckoned with.
