		Born into a musical family, Hubbard was swift to become a musician himself, by following the example of his piano playing mother and sister, and his saxophonist and pianist brothers.
		As the 1960s went on, Hubbard was involved in several other experimental projects that were at the cutting edge of jazz, including Oliver Nelson's Blues and The Abstract Truth, and John Coltrane's Ascension.

		Hubbard’s entire story, though endures as a heroic tale, beginning with his attraction to the toy tonette, then the e-flat horn, trombone, tuba, french horn and finally trumpet in junior high school in Indianapolis.
		Hubbard currently works out ideas on piano before trying them on his horn or his band, and New Colors attests to his ability to tailor his personal identity to a contemporary cohort.
		Besides the patented Hubbard smear, timbre, innate fire and lyricism, freddie inspires his younger followers to daring leaps of expression and solid section work, written to accentuate harmonic depths, a spectrum of hues.

	Featured Artist of the Month (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of the great jazz trumpeters of all time, Freddie Hubbard formed his sound out of the Clifford Brown/Lee Morgan tradition, and by the early 70s was an immediately distinctive jazz pacesetter.
		But after the glory of the CTI years, during which producer Creed Taylor did an expert job of balancing the artistic with the accessible, Hubbard made the mistake of signing with Columbia and recording one dud after another; Windjammer (1976) and Splash (a slightly later effort for Fantasy) were low points.
		By the late '80s, however, Hubbard's personal problems and increasing unreliability (eg, not showing up for gigs) started to really hurt him, and a few years later his once-mighty technique started to seriously falter.

	Biography - Freddie Hubbard (Bio 506) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of the great jazz trumpeters of all time, Freddie Hubbard formed his sound out of the Clifford Brown/Lee Morgan tradition and by the early '70s was immediately distinctive and the pacesetter in jazz.
		However a string of blatantly commercial albums later in the decade damaged his reputation and, just when Hubbard in the early '90s (with the deaths of Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis) seemed perfectly suited for the role of veteran master, his chops started causing him serious troubles.
		Whether Freddie Hubbard will ever make a serious comeback is open to question but his fans can certainly enjoy his many recordings for Blue Note, Impulse, Atlantic, CTI, Pablo and his first Music Masters sets.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Freddie Hubbard - Live at the Left Bank
		Jam Gems, from a 1965 date, has the virtue of pairing Hubbard with Jimmy Heath, and the ambient concert sounds evoke memories of Bird and Diz jamming their hearts out.
		Hubbard is also more expressive and expansive, not confining himself to bop structures but also following the lead of Davis in occasional explorations of modal jazz configurations.
		Hubbard showcases his high-tempo bursts and a sharp, if not especially inventive, improvisatory approach, and generates a cooking session.

	FREDDIE HUBBARD / STRAIGHT LIFE
		Recorded in 1970, this album demonstrates why the early years of fusion were really the best, as adventurous jazz musicians (like those assembled here) began incorporating the drive of rock and the fat grooves of funk into their evolving sounds.
		His technical prowess is inoffensively put on display, driven as it is by the contagiously high energy level of his all-star group, which includes such luminaries as Joe Henderson on sax, George Benson on guitar, and Herbie Hancock on piano.
		Hubbard's opening solo on the title track really challenges his compatriots, each of whom rises to the occasion, adding new levels of intensity to the funky brew with successively brilliant solos.

	Freddie Hubbard : Topsy: Standard Book - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		It was the producer's idea that Freddie Hubbard play all of the nine standards on this CD with a mute in his trumpet.
		Hubbard was not happy with the restriction, but does his best on the quartet/quintet session with pianist Benny Green, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Carl Allen and, on three numbers, altoist Kenny Garrett.
		While it is interesting to hear Freddie Hubbard tackle such material as "Topsy," "As Time Goes By," "Cherokee" and "Love Me or Leave Me," the music is often more mellow than one might hope, even when uptempo.

	Freddie Hubbard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Freddie Hubbard ended his long absence from the jazz spots around town with a richly exciting set that showed he can still draw blood in the jazz arena.
		That was a bitter blow to the world of jazz, Hubbard being one of the great stars of his instrument, ranking right up there with the Miles himself among the cognoscenti.
		So even after five years in the woodshed, what Hubbard did to the blues during four or five birthday night choruses on his flugelhorn was to hang in there and slug it out, a little like Ali dodging Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle, floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Freddie Hubbard - New Colors
		The album give more emphasis to Hubbard's role as a composer, setting six older Hubbard tunes, plus one new Hubbard tune and Chick Corea's "Inner Space" in a small band setting with the New Jazz Composers Octet.
		The tunes work beautifully in these octet versions—rich horn voicings and parts serve as colorful settings for soloists, the most standout of whom is saxophonist Craig Handy.
		As I stated, Hubbard's playing may not be as dominent now, but New Colors

	Freddie Hubbard Flip-Out - Jazz Bulletin Board
		After some impatient gestures to the booth, Freddie lost it and kicked the microphone stand aside, and then stormed up the aisle to the sound booth, where he could be heard lambasting the sound crew before departing the premises.
		From what I understand, Freddie Hubbard damaged his chops in the early 1990s and has never recovered, so that on those fairly rare occasions when he plays in public now, it is at a much diminished level.
		Freddie was unfairly going after one of the players on the bandstand, as I recall --- and in disgust a couple of the other cats left the stage.

	CD Review of Freddie Hubbard - Ready For Freddie on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		Of a long line of classic sessions, Ready for Freddie is the classic Freddie Hubbard recording of his early years.
		Over a solid foundation maintained by the busy Davis and Jones, Hubbard takes the first solo, a stream that is breathtaking in its execution, though even moreso for the process of thought inherent in that construction.
		Though he remained a well regarded giant of jazz for decades beyond this, his quick witted conceptualization and equally dazzling technique makes his playing here among the most brilliant I have heard in the 25 years I have been writing about this music.
