My first Hubbard album was First Light. I just bought it on iTunes again after not being able to listen to it for about twenty years. I still really love it!
Also Double Take, together with Woody Shaw is super. Both great inspirators, but Freddie wins IMHO.
There is also a lot of footage on Youtube, really fun to watch those clips. _________________ http://cdbaby.com/cd/triobertlochs

I think Woody got sucked into trying to play trumpet olympics with Freddie. Never a good idea. _________________ Jeff Helgesen

*shrug* Tastes are personal. Also worth noting that there's another album with the two of them under Benny Golson's name called Time Speaks. _________________ Jeff Helgesen

|

I know I'm a little late to the dance on this topic...but hope that I can get some additional recommendations on where to search out the best of Freddie. I have gotten some great ideas for some additional early Freddie from previous posts...but am looking for ideas for later day Freddie. I must say I am not a fan of the CTI recordings. I own Sweet Return, and could listen to Freddie on "Funny How Time Flies" (Stanley Clarke - If This Bass Could Only Talk) every day! Recommendations don't necessarily need to be Freddie albums...but as a guest appearance as well!
Thanks in advance! |

What, nobody mentioned Windjammer! On a more serious note, someone mentioned Super Blue, I love that album. The first Freddie album I bought was High Energy, another great recording.
When Freddie was serious and healthy he was untouchable.
I posted a story on TM about hearing him live for the first time. I was living in Boston and attending Berklee when Freddie played at a small club in town. This was late 81 or early 82. His first set was blazing, his command of the instrument was astounding. He hung around at the bar between sets for awhile to talk story with everyone. He was friendly and funny as hell.
He excused himself and said he had to rest a bit to get ready for the second set. He was so wasted when he walked out that he could barely stand let alone play.
I only had the chance to hear him live once more in a large theater a few years later and he played his ass off from start to finish. |

Dianne Reeves' debut album from the late 80s features Freddie Hubbard on "I Got it Bad." I wore that one out listening to it over and over. _________________ Bryan Fields

So much amazing music already listed in this thread!!
I have some bootleg stuff that is amazing .... including a live recording of 'I Love You' that was, I believe recorded at the Vanguard. Maybe the most amazing solo I've ever heard from Freddie. It could be off of an album ... if so I have no idea which one.
My other addition to the thread is the Kirk Lightsey Album Temptation (specifically the 'Evidence' track.)
Both of these tracks are right at the top of any and everything I have ever heard from Freddie!!!! .... which we all know is saying alot. Lol _________________ Van Laar B6

English is such a strange language! Jeff, I have a LOT of trees where I live. Not once has a Freddie recording fallen on me due to stick-shaking, LOLOL
Kidding aside, I bookmarked this thread |

Great thread y'all!! Checking out a bunch of these records immediately.

You can't diminish a whole tone scale, for the obvious reason - you create something other than whole tones. That sounds like a made up label for something players know intuitively.
I love Freddie! I'm glad I got to hang with him a few times. |
Diminished Whole-Tone is the Aebersold term for Super Locrian (7th mode of melodic minor).
