Freddie Hubbard - Ready For Freddie (1961/2013) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

"Ready For Freddie" is Hubbard’s 1961 masterpiece and most iconic recording as a bandleader. Joined by an all-star lineup, which includes Bernard McKinney, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Art Davis and Elvin Jones, the album is widely considered one of the greatest releases in jazz history. Ready For Freddie includes the standouts “Marie Antoinette” and “Weaver Of Dreams”. "Ready For Freddie" is an absolute vital addition to your music library.

Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard really came into his own during this Blue Note session. He is matched with quite an all-star group (tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones in addition to Bernard McKinney on euphonium), introduces two of his finest compositions ("Birdlike" and "Crisis"), and is quite lyrical on his ballad feature, "Weaver of Dreams." Hubbard's sidemen all play up to par and this memorable session is highly recommended; it's one of the trumpeter's most rewarding Blue Note albums.
