About
Freddie Hubbard contributes two choruses on trumpet, the second of 3 solos on the recording. Taken at a medium swing tempo of 137 BPM over the 24-bar AABACD in C, the improvisation unfolds with comfortable, easygoing swing. Freddie Hubbard follows with two trumpet choruses of characteristic brilliance, his crystalline tone and rhythmic confidence bringing a different energy to the angular harmony. Recorded for the album Speak No Evil in 1964, the performance captures Freddie Hubbard at 25 to 26 years old. The piece begins with a tense, harmonized phrase for tenor saxophone and trumpet that pulls in multiple directions before settling into a sauntering blues walk, immediately establishing a foreboding atmosphere.
Freddie Hubbard was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
