Freddie Hubbard - Hub Cap (1961)

Freddie Hubbard leads a particularly talented sextet on this reissue. Four of the six compositions are Hubbard originals; two numbers were composed by Cedar Walton, and the marvelous “Cry Me Not” was penned by Randy Weston. The title track opens the disc, showing off Hubbard’’s flexibility and range in hard bop terrain. The pace shifts when the group leads into the modal ballad “Cry Not For Me,” where Freddie Hubbard delivers some beautiful triplet lines in his solos. This number bears repeated listening. This long-awaited CD from Freddie Hubbard’’s discography deserves your attention and makes a fine addition to your collection.

Freddie Hubbard brought a beautiful tone and an instinct for swing to Hub Cap. This record came out in 1961, three years before Eric Dolphy’’s Out To Lunch and four years before Herbie Hancock’’s Maiden Voyage : two significant titles in the library of America’’s improvised music which feature a consequential role by Hubbard.

On Hub Cap, his third effort as a leader, Freddie Hubbard sticks to the tried-and-true hard bop formula, which is something of a mixed blessing. There’’s no question that much of this music is enjoyable, but it’’s not quite up to the standards of its two predecessors. Part of the problem is Hubbard’’s sextet, which features tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, trombonist Julian Priester, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer “Philly” Joe Jones. All of the musicians are talented, but only a few are inventive, and that becomes a problem, since it becomes clear that Hubbard is beginning to break free from his influences and develop his own style. In other words, he’’s capable of more adventurous music than this straight-ahead hard bop. That said, Hub Cap is a very good hard bop date. There is energy to the performances, and the artist’’s vigorous, inspired playing continues to impress, as do some of his original compositions. Only when compared to Hubbard’’s first two records, or what would come later, does Hub Cap seem like a lesser effort.

======================

Впервые слышу этот инструмент в джазовой записи. Валторну, тубу, французкий рожок слышал, а вот Эуфониум - никогда.
