FREDDIE HUBBARD NOT GONE AND DEFINITELY NOT FORGOTTEN

Too many R.I.P.s lately. So it's nice to acknowledge someone still around.

Mucho thanks to my good old friend Tom Wilson and his COOL BIRTH blog for reminding me of how much I should get some Freddie Hubbard on my iTunes. This clip his post links to you have to watch (actually you don't have to watch, just LISTEN to) all the way to the end to dig some beautiful playing (and he's doing this with essentially a house band, not his own tried and true musical compatriots etc.—though they're certainly up to the task, but still).

Thanks. Freddie Hubbard was my idol growing up.
