Freddie Hubbard – The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard

This 1962 effort was Freddie Hubbard’s first recording under his own name for Impulse. Fellow Jazz Messenger Curtis Fuller and newcomer John Gilmore colour the proceedings … These rock-solid, post-bop horn players are backed by the formidable rhythm section of Tommy Flanagan on piano, Art Davis on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. Hubbard’s shimmering style and clear tone show a clear debt to the late Clifford Brown and a nod to the bold sonic curiosity of John Coltrane. These are some hot young players pushing a classic format forward.
