Freddie Hubbard “Ready for Freddie” (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series) LP

Ready for Freddie puts the focus on brilliant trumpet technique, hard bop, post-bop, and fiery modal improvisation.

• Hubbard is joined by Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Art Davis, Elvin Jones, and euphonium player Bernard McKinney.
• The sextet gives Hubbard's hard-bop writing extra harmonic weight, while the rhythm section pushes the music toward the more open post-bop language of the early 1960s.
• The album is one of Hubbard's strongest early Blue Note sessions.

For fans of Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, and McCoy Tyner.
