Freddie Hubbard Buying Guide

Freddie Hubbard  was born Frederick Dwayne Hubbard in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 7, 1938.

Hubbard moved to New York at the age 20 and began working with other jazz greats like drummer Philly Joe Jones, trombonist J.J. Johnson and pianist McCoy Tyner, who is the only surviving member of The John Coltrane Quartet. He quickly rose to prominence not only as a sideman for John Coltrane and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, but as a leading trumpeter

Hubbard was one of the leading trumpeters who came out of the "hard bop" movement--an extension of bebop which incorporates blues and gospel in its sound.

We lost our "Ready Freddie"  on December 29, 2008 at the age of 70.
