Beschreibung: | Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in deluxe tip-on jacket. The prodigious trumpeter Freddie Hubbard debuted on Blue Note in 1960 and produced an astounding run of recordings over the first half of the decade that culminated with Blue Spirits, which was the last of his 1960s studio albums for the label. This bluesy and spirited album presented five evocative Hubbard originals, each of which was given a richly textured arrangement for an ensemble that included a dynamic four-horn lineup. Drawn from two different sessions, the first date produced the gratifying opening track "Soul Surge" and the percolating "Cunga Black" with Hubbard joined by James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, Kiane Zawadi on euphonium, Harold Mabern on piano, Larry Ridley on bass, Clifford Jarvis on drums, and Big Black on congas. A week later Hubbard returned to Van Gelder Studio with Spaulding, Zawadi, and a slightly different lineup including Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Pete LaRoca on drums. This second session rounded out the album with hard-charging performances of "Outer Forces" and "Jodo," as well as the mesmerizing title track. This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, and mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes., The prodigious trumpeter Freddie Hubbard debuted on Blue Note in 1960 and produced an astounding run of recordings over the first half of the decade that culminated with Blue Spirits, which was the last of his 1960s studio albums for the label.

Ursprünglich 1965 aufgenommen, zeigt dieses Album Hubbard auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Kreativität: eine Mischung aus Hard Bop und experimentellen Post-Bop-Elementen mit einer hochkarätigen Besetzung wie James Spaulding und Joe Henderson. Die Tone-Poet-Serie steht für audiophilen Klang und hochwertige Ausstattung ? diese Neuauflage ist daher sowohl für Sammler als auch neue Hörer unverzichtbar. Das renommierte Label Blue Note prägt seit 1939 die Jazzwelt maßgeblich und förderte Größen wie Miles Davis oder Herbie Hancock. Freddie Hubbard gilt als einer der einflussreichsten Trompeter seiner Zeit; seine virtuose Technik prägte Klassiker wie ?Red Clay? oder ?Open Sesame?, wofür er vielfach ausgezeichnet wurde. |
