Our Take

Freddie Hubbard- "Ready For Freddie"

When it comes to jazz trumpeters, Freddie Hubbard is a name that commands respect. With a career spanning decades and a discography that reads like a who's who of the genre, Hubbard has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz. His latest album, "Ready For Freddie," is a testament to his legendary status and unbridled talent.

From the opening notes of the title track, it's clear that Hubbard is at the top of his game. His trumpet playing is as sharp and soulful as ever, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies and blistering solos that leave you slack-jawed in amazement. Backed by a stellar band that includes the likes of McCoy Tyner on piano and Art Davis on bass, Hubbard effortlessly navigates through a diverse range of styles and moods, from the Latin-infused rhythms of "Arietis" to the laid-back grooves of "Marie Antoinette."

But what truly sets "Ready For Freddie" apart is Hubbard's willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of his art. Tracks like "Crisis" and "Birdlike" showcase his ability to experiment with complex time signatures and harmonies, creating a sound that is at once challenging and deeply rewarding. In a genre often accused of being stale and repetitive, Hubbard proves that there is still plenty of life left in jazz.

Overall, "Ready For Freddie" is a triumph for Freddie Hubbard and a testament to the enduring power of his music. It's a must-listen for any fan of jazz, and a reminder that true greatness knows no bounds. So grab your best pair of headphones, pour yourself a stiff drink, and prepare to be blown away by one of the all-time greats.
