Freddie Hubbard Black Angel Jazz Music CD Review
The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Freddie Hubbard has released him CD entitled Black Angel. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Freddie Hubbard fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Black Angel Freddie Hubbard’s artistic excellence is on full display as Hubbard has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
It’s a rare day
indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
Black Angel has a nicely varied, mix of 5 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
If you’re a Freddie Hubbard fan, or just a fan of Jazz music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - The Black Angel, track 4 - Gittin’ Down, and track 5 - Coral Keys.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 1 - Space Track. Great track!
