Freddie Hubbard
Trumpet Solo on
The Intrepid Fox

About

Freddie Hubbard's trumpet solo is the first of three solos on this recording. Set in C at a vigorous 254 BPM with a swing feel, "The Intrepid Fox" is an extended, open-form composition from Freddie Hubbard's 1970 album Red Clay, featuring three expansive solos over a fast swing groove in C minor. YouTube and Spotify seem to have misnamed 2 tracks from this Red Clay album: The Intrepid Fox and Cold Turkey. The music here is The Intrepid Fox even though YouTube and Spotify say Cold Turkey.

Freddie Hubbard was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
