RIBS TPTD: Freddie Hubbard, R.I.P.

*sigh* I was hoping that after we heard about Eartha Kitt’s passing on Christmas Day that we were finished losing our great artists and entertainers for 2008. We’ve lost so many this year: Isaac Hayes, Bernie Mac, Dee Dee Warwick, Odetta, Bo Diddley, Mariam Makeba, Levi Stubbs, Norman Whitfield to name a few.

Unfortunately we now have to add Frederick Dewyane Hubbard, better known as jazz trumpeter extraordinaire Freddie Hubbard, to that list.

There are a lot of words that come to mind at a time like this but they are just a jumble of thoughts right now. Perhaps I’ll come back a little later and add them. At this moment let’s just say that Freddie, along with Miles Davis, was probably one of the major influences on the majority of the horn players that are out today.

‘Nuff said for now. Let’s let the gift of music that he’s left behind say the rest as we present to you…

    2. “Hub” was a good one, wasn’t he!
    Thanks for this tribute “TG”. I’ll play it in high regard. BTW, haven’t heard it yet, but was wondering if this “People Make…..” is from the Milt Jackson SUNFLOWER lp?
