^ I've still got to get 'Breaking Point' - it's on my list. I should bump it up the order.

And Sky Dive if it ever gets reissue!

Any of the Blue Notes are worthy, most CTI's are good too, I have always liked Breaking Point. especially  "Far Away" That "is" my favorite Hubbard track, I love the Vibe on that one, The album Blue Spirits is killer too.

This could gather some thoughts about being tagged as Third Stream, rather than First Light LOL


Third Stream, eh? I dunno Wink But it is string heavy -probably part of which I like it. And the second side has some of Freddie's most effective ballad-playing for me. Nice and relaxed, not trying to cram every note on a scale in etc Smile

I voted for "First Light" before. And there is an album of the 70s in this list. However, I really like the performance that I performed in Art Blakey&JM about his performance.

That live cut of Red Clay is magic, huh? Cool, I'd second all of those! Open Sesame is a great hard bop, and First Light is possibly my favourite, features his ballad playing quite nicely. Keen to hear what you think of Breaking Point as I've not heard it yet

I kind of think Straight Life will be tough to beat... I found Red Clay rather old game for its release date, except fotr the closing track;
 
 
I just reserved Sky Dive, First Light and Breaking point next
 
Then  will rent Liquid Love and Open Sesame

'Straight Life' has some punch, huh? Will check out Liquid Love, it must be after 'Sky Dive' which is where I've stalled on Hubbard's discography, as I can't find a copy. Thanks for the tip!



Oh yea, Straight Life is some solid jazz-funk, with an all star cast lineup. Pretty much essential for a 70s jazz collection.

A great triligoy of albums there, huh? Red Clay is pretty muscular, but I think I anothe reason I voted for First Light - was perhaps for the ballads, as much as the more fusion-pieces. Hubbard was a nice romantic player I reckon

Damn, $10 is pretty damn good. I'm a few hours away from a large music shop with a broad selection of genres stocked, my local store would import things like VSOP from amazon, which I can always do myself.  Wow, the vinyls must be rare?
The VSOP vinyls aren't that rare yet, I'm going to make a total guess and say possibly under $20 a piece on ebay.


That isn't too bad at all, I wonder if I shouldn't invest in vinyl and CD for those, though I haven't had vinyl shipped to me before, as I usually pick it up from stores etc, but assume most senders have the skills to package it properly. Vinyl just seems to much less suited to our rough-hands postal service Wink

Hey Matt, yeah! I love 'Open Sesame' & 'Ready' too, that era of his is pretty darn solid. And he has even got Tyner McCoy on one of those sessions from memory, which is impressive for a young player. He had the moves.

Obviously can't vote now!
 


Looking forward to seeing what you choose - hopefully someone can challenge the lead First  Light seems to have!
 
As you probably can figure out, I'll go for the 67-73 albums first (hey, boys will be boysEmbarrassedBig smile)
 
Soooo at first glance, I'd say Straight Life, Red Clay, Black angel, Soul Together or First Light
 
 
But i'll be sure to investigate Ready For Freddie, Open Sesame & Breaking Point as well.
 
 


All quality albums, there (though I've only read reviews of Black Angel to judge from)

Breaking Point is probably more 'moving forward' I guess, and albums like Ready & Open are solid hard bop records. 'Open Sesame' is a killer title track too
