Freddie Hubbard
Trumpet Solo on
Butch And Butch

About

Freddie Hubbard's trumpet solo is the second of four improvisations on this recording, following Nelson's tenor saxophone. Taking three choruses of the 12-bar blues in G at 208 BPM, Hubbard brings his fiery trumpet to the blues framework with characteristic energy and technical brilliance. His three choruses build with the narrative momentum that distinguished his playing, each chorus intensifying the improvisational arc established by Nelson's opening statement.

Freddie Hubbard was 22 to 23 years old at the time.
