ValerieB Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 he actually went into the hospital last week, maybe Wednesday night. he's got big problems with his heart, kidneys and liver. it seems he really needs a miracle and i sincerely hope he gets it. Quote
Free For All Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Best wishes and positive thoughts for one of my favorite trumpet players. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Man. . . best wishes for a recovery! Quote
BruceH Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 This is terrible news. My best hopes and wishes go out to him. Quote
sidewinder Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Damn - hope he pulls through OK. Will be keeping fingers crossed. Quote
ValerieB Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 he has definitely improved since last Thursday so we have reason to be hopeful. Quote
Dave James Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Geez, it seems like not a day goes by of late without someone who was important to the music passing away. Maybe this time around, the big guy upstairs will give Freddie a pass. Up over and out. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) I hope he does get a pass from the guys upstairs and a new set of lips so he can blow like the old days. He was and is a trur master on the trumpet. All the best for a speedy recovery. It's hard to believe he is 70 already. Edited December 2, 2008 by Hardbopjazz Quote
AndrewHill Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 One of my favorite trumpeters! Hope he gets well soon. Best Wishes! Quote

sidewinder Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Fabulous. Hope he's out soon ! Quote
AndrewHill Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Any updates? Is he out of the ICU? Quote
ValerieB Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Any updates? Is he out of the ICU? i know that as of this past Sunday, he was not out of ICU but continuing to make remarkable progress. the word is that he is now awake and alert although not speaking because of apparatus in his throat. he gave a "thumbs up" to a mutual friend! Quote
AndrewHill Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks again for the update. Glad to hear he's making progress! Quote
JSngry Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 It occurs to me that the letter "U" is one over from the letter "T". So let's make "CTI" "CUI". Now, let's follow this "one over" principal on our new acronym. "CUI" now becomes "ICU". So you see, the progression from CTI to ICU has been a logical one based on some very simple, easy to follow principals. Now, let's look at "ICU" and put the "T" back. We now have "TCU" (Freddy's not from Fort Worth is he? Didn't think so...) Now, anybody can see that "C" is really a little more than half of an "O". The object of life being to fulfill it's fullest potential, let's encourage/manifest that and make/most fully realize "TCU" into "TOU". Again, life is nothing if not a series of events guided by some underlying inevitabilities, in this case, the "one over" principal. Therefore, it is only fitting that "TOU" becomes "OUT". Getting OUT of the ICU is therefore inevitable for Freddie, and the sooner the better! Quote
Aggie87 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 There's a building not too far from my home here that houses Freddie Records, which is a Tejano label/studio. They've got this great rotating sign (same as below image) out front that always makes me think of Freddie Hubbard though. Get better, Freddie! Quote
