Description
Hubbard is joined here by an all-star group including Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette and more!
Recorded between trumpeter Freddie Hubbards better-known classics Red Clay and First Light, Straight Life is actually arguably Hubbards greatest recording. Hubbard, joined by an all-star group that includes tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, keyboardist Herbie Hancock, guitarist George Benson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Jack DeJohnette, is frequently astounding on Straight Life (check out that introduction) and Mr. Clean, constructing classic solos. The very memorable set is rounded off by the trumpeters duet with Benson on a lyrical version of the ballad Heres That Rainy Day. This exciting album is essential for all serious jazz collections.
