Freddie Hubbard - Mr. Clean (A JazzStage Favorite)

Also check out www.jazzstage.net

Throughout his distinguished career, trumpet (and sometimes flugelhorn) player Hubbard has worn many musical hats. He became best known as a fiery and energetic hard bopper with a string of classic Blue Note albums from the 60s to his name, as well as being a graduate of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Once the word was out that there was a new kid on the block, his muscular style found its way onto an amazing amount of albums, from Oliver Nelson (Blues And The Abstract Truth) and Herbie Hancock (Maiden Voyage) to John Coltrane (Ascension) and Ornette Coleman (Free Jazz).
