Blue Note

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.

Freddie Hubbard was an American jazz trumpeter and bandleader. Born on April 7, 1938 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, he became known for his contributions to the bebop, hard bop and post bop styles of jazz from the early 1960s onwards. With his unmistakable and influential tone, Hubbard played a significant role in shaping modern jazz.
Throughout his career, Freddie Hubbard's talent as a trumpeter propelled him to great heights within the jazz community. His passion for music led him to become one of the most respected figures in the genre. 
Tragically, Freddie Hubbard passed away on December 29, 2008 at the age of 70 in Los Angeles, California. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his groundbreaking contributions to jazz and his lasting impact on future generations of musicians.

Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard teams up on record with James Spaulding (who doubles on alto and flute) for the first time on this excellent set, with the assistance of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Clifford Jarvis. The quintet performs four of the trumpeter's originals (including Lament for Booker and the title cut) plus an advanced version of the standard You're My Everything. John Coltrane's modal music was starting to influence Hubbard's conception and his own playing was pushing the modern mainstream ahead without really entering the avant-garde.
