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

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 Edited by Sean Trane - 19 Nov 2011 at 9:13am |

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

Third Stream, eh? I dunno 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 |

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! |
