Freddie Hubbard - The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard (1962)

Freddie Hubbard - The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard (SACD)

  "The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard," one of two albums the trumpeter made for the Impulse label during a hiatus from Blue Note.

  Recorded July 2, 1962 By Rudy Van Gelder and Bob Thiele.  Hubbarc (trumpet) surrounds himself with quite a musical crew comprised of Curtis Fuller (trombone), Tom Flanagan (piano), Sun Ra's tenor saxist John Gilmore, Art Davis (bass) and Louis Hayes on the skins!

As usual both Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman did a masterful job on the careful remastering  to this lovely SACD format.  The sound is truely rich and full with little to no distortion and a wonderful soundscape.
