Our Take

Freddie Hubbard's "Open Sesame" is a veritable feast of jazz goodness, serving up a tantalising blend of swinging rhythms, soulful melodies, and virtuosic solos. The album opens with the title track, a funky, groovy number that sets the tone for the rest of the record.

Hubbard's trumpet playing is nothing short of sensational, as he effortlessly glides through complex runs and soaring high notes with ease. His tone is rich and full, drawing the listener in from the very first note. The rest of the band is equally impressive, with stellar performances from pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Clifford Jarvis.

Standout tracks include the uptempo romp "Minor Mishap," the sultry ballad "But Beautiful," and the fiery, Latin-tinged "Oasis." Each song showcases Hubbard's versatility as a musician, as he effortlessly transitions from hard bop to modal jazz to bossa nova with ease.

Overall, "Open Sesame" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Hubbard's virtuosic playing, coupled with the tight, cohesive interplay of the band, makes for a truly memorable listening experience. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, kick back, and let Freddie Hubbard take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

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.
