The Hub is back.
To herald Freddie Hubbard's triumphant return to the scene, at age 70, Times Square Records will nationally release on June 24 On The Real Side, his first outing as a leader in seven years. Again backed by The New Jazz Composers Octet,which accompanied the iconic trumpeter on his 2001 release New Colors,Hubbard revisits some of his own classic tunes from yesteryear, ambitiously re-arranged by trumpeter David Weiss, trombonist Steve Davis and bassist Dwayne Burno of the NJCO.
And while Hubbard finds himself unable to play for long stretches these days --the result of a split lip that became infected when he refused to curtail a series of engagements during the '90s -- he exudes plenty of soul on "SkyDive," "Gibraltar," the hard boppish "Life Flight," the uptempo blues "Theme For Kareem." Hubbard also contributes one new original, the loping soul-jazz number "On The Real Side," which features guest guitarist Russell Malone.
