^ 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.

Third Stream, eh? I dunno 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 |

I just reviewed First Light and to be honest, it's hardly my fave....
insufferable and over-whelming string section splattered all over the flipside... no thanks.
This could gather some thoughts about being tagged as Third Stream, rather than First Light

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 Edited by Sean Trane - 19 Nov 2011 at 9:13am |

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

I only have Red Clay, Straight Life, and First Light of his, so I won't vote. Of those, First Light is my favourite (good Fusion), but I think Red Clay the greatest.

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
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.
'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! |

Ive heard most of these. I voted Straight Life
However, I recently discovered an album from 1972 or 73 called Liquid Love, and it's a very solid jazz-funk album; and I never knew it existed. I was considering voting "other" for it. |

"Open Sesame" of course its Hard bop and its on Blue Note. I have not heard every album listed but the majority of his Blue Note stuff yes.I have "Red Clay" and "The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard". "Goin Up" and "Ready For Freddie" I like as well but all his Blue Note albums are good.

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.

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 |

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? |
