Freddie Hubbard – Breaking Point (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Freddie Hubbard recorded Breaking Point at a genuine crossroads moment, arriving just as Blue Note's house sound was pushing hard against its own boundaries. His trumpet work here sits comfortably alongside contemporaries like Freddie Hubbard's former bandmate Lee Morgan and the more adventurous corners of Herbie Hancock's mid-60s output, capturing a player fully confident in navigating the tension between hard bop discipline and the avant-garde currents swirling through New York.
Recorded in May 1964, shortly after Hubbard left Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, the quintet - with James Spaulding, Ronnie Mathews, Eddie Khan, and Joe Chambers - moves assuredly from free-form playing and modal jazz to the blues and balladry on this 6-song set of originals by Hubbard and Chambers. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
