RIP Freddie….
Freddie Hubbard died yesterday after having suffered a heart attack the day before Thanksgiving. I was listening to Freddie on Wayne Shorter’s Speak No Evil this morning on the bus. He is the trumpeter that gave me an appreciation for real jazz. I grew listening to 70 and 80s disco influenced jazz, but in High School someone (I wish I could remember who) told me to pick up something by Freddie. His playing really opened my eyes.
