"Straight Life" is a landmark jazz album by the legendary trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, released in 1971 and now available on CD from Col. This record captures Hubbard at the height of his creative powers, blending hard bop with elements of soul-jazz and fusion. The title track, an extended improvisational masterpiece, showcases not only Hubbard's virtuosic trumpet playing but also features contributions from other jazz greats like Joe Henderson and Herbie Hancock. "Straight Life" stands as one of the defining works in Freddie Hubbard?s discography and remains influential to this day for its adventurous spirit and technical brilliance.
