A great triligoy of albums there, huh? Red Clay is pretty muscular, but I think I anothe reason I voted for First Light - was perhaps for the ballads, as much as the more fusion-pieces. Hubbard was a nice romantic player I reckon

However, I recently discovered an album from 1972 or 73 called Liquid Love, and it's a very solid jazz-funk album; and I never knew it existed. I was considering voting "other" for it.


'Straight Life' has some punch, huh? Will check out Liquid Love, it must be after 'Sky Dive' which is where I've stalled on Hubbard's discography, as I can't find a copy. Thanks for the tip!



Oh yea, Straight Life is some solid jazz-funk, with an all star cast lineup. Pretty much essential for a 70s jazz collection.

I kind of think Straight Life will be tough to beat... I found Red Clay rather old game for its release date, except fotr the closing track;
 
 
I just reserved Sky Dive, First Light and Breaking point next
 
Then  will rent Liquid Love and Open Sesame

That live cut of Red Clay is magic, huh? Cool, I'd second all of those! Open Sesame is a great hard bop, and First Light is possibly my favourite, features his ballad playing quite nicely. Keen to hear what you think of Breaking Point as I've not heard it yet

I voted for "First Light" before. And there is an album of the 70s in this list. However, I really like the performance that I performed in Art Blakey&JM about his performance.

I just reviewed First Light and to be honest, it's hardly my fave....
 
insufferable and over-whelming string section splattered all over the flipside... no thanks.
 
This could gather some thoughts about being tagged as Third Stream, rather than First Light LOL

Third Stream, eh? I dunno Wink But it is string heavy -probably part of which I like it. And the second side has some of Freddie's most effective ballad-playing for me. Nice and relaxed, not trying to cram every note on a scale in etc Smile

Any of the Blue Notes are worthy, most CTI's are good too, I have always liked Breaking Point. especially  "Far Away" That "is" my favorite Hubbard track, I love the Vibe on that one, The album Blue Spirits is killer too.

^ I've still got to get 'Breaking Point' - it's on my list. I should bump it up the order.

And Sky Dive if it ever gets reissue!
