Freddie Hubbard - The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180-Gram Vinyl, Gatefold Tip-On Jacket, Verve Acoustic Sounds Series

On The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard, the brilliant young trumpeter steps forward as both a commanding soloist and a composer of striking imagination, leading a handpicked sextet through a program that balances firepower with finesse. Surrounded by an exceptional cast — trombonist Curtis Fuller, tenor saxophonist John Gilmore, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Louis Hayes — Hubbard crafts a session recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio that marked his debut as a leader for the Impulse! label. Three Hubbard originals reveal his gift for memorable themes, while the sextet reimagines standards like "Summertime" and "Caravan" with fresh rhythmic vitality.
