When i first got introduced to jazz, Freddie Hubbard was the first musican I was drawn too. I was a nineteen year old kid who just fell in love with what Freddie was capable of doing on the trumpet. Backed in high school I played the french horn but soon after graduating from high school I stopped playing. I met FReddie at this club in chicago called the Quiet Night in 1975. After the first set was over I noticed Freddie at an enclosed portion of the bar eating a sandwhich and enjoying a drink. Freddie must have noticed me staring and introduced himself and asked me what a young kid knew about him and his music. I was awe struck and since then have been hooked on jazz and in particular Freddie Hubbard. I have always considered him the most powerful trumpet player since Diz. He has always had that big fat sound and unbelieveable faclity and range on the trumpet and fulgehorn. Finally, when freddie plays all other trumpet players take notes, that's how bad my favorite trumpet is, thats right take notes from the master. Happiness!!!
