1938-2008

I'm pretty late on this, but with all the holiday hustle, didn't get the news that Freddie Hubbard had passed until after the new year. Perhaps best known for his run of early 70's releases for CTI Records (speaking of, is the CTI catalog of that period not in desperate need of a photo anthology/covers collection book of some sort?), Freddie was a key sideman on a number of significant releases throughout the 60's as well, and continued to play up until recent years. Rest in peace, Mr. Hubbard.
