███▌ Release ▀ ███
██▓▀ ███
██▓ The Hub is back. To herald Freddie Hubbard's ▓██
██▓ triumphant return to the scene, at age 70, Times ▓██
██▓ Square Records will nationally release on June 24 ▓██
██▓ On The Real Side, his first outing as a leader in ▓██
██▓ seven years. Again backed by The New Jazz Composers ▓██
██▓ Octet, which accompanied the iconic trumpeter on ▓██
██▓ his 2001 release New Colors, Hubbard revisits some ▓██
██▓ of his own classic tunes from yesteryear, ▓██
██▓ ambitiously re-arranged by trumpeter David Weiss, ▓██
██▓ trombonist Steve Davis and bassist Dwayne Burno of ▓██
██▓ the NJCO. And while Hubbard finds himself unable to ▓██
██▓ play for long stretches these days - the result of ▓██
██▓ a split lip that became infected when he refused to ▓██
██▓ curtail a series of engagements during the '90s - ▓██
██▓ he exudes plenty of soul on ôSkyDive, ô ôGibraltar, ▓██
██▓ ô the hard boppish ôLife Flight, ô the uptempo ▓██
██▓ blues ôTheme For Kareem, ô the rhythmically ▓██
██▓ intricate ôTake It To The Ozone" and his most ▓██
██▓ frequently covered number, the lyrical waltz-time ▓██
██▓ vehicle ôUp Jumped Spring." Hubbard also ▓██
██▓ contributes one new original, the loping soul-jazz ▓██
██▓ number ôOn The Real Side, ô which features guest ▓██
██▓ guitarist Russell Malone. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Freddie again plays flugelhorn exclusively ▓██
██▓ throughout On The Real Side, as he did on New ▓██
██▓ Colors. And while the dazzling speed, stunning high ▓██
██▓ note facility and uncanny endurance may be ▓██
██▓ diminished, the phrasing is still quintessentially ▓██
██▓ Hubbard. ôI can't expect myself to play like I was ▓██
██▓ when I was 30, ô he says. ôSometimes I want to bash ▓██
██▓ it, play hard, but you can't do it. I have come to ▓██
██▓ the realization as to what I can do now...play a ▓██
██▓ couple of choruses and get out." ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ At the peak of his powers, no trumpeter on the ▓██
██▓ planet played longer, higher, and faster than ▓██
██▓ Freddie Hubbard, and no one exuded as much ▓██
██▓ confidence and swagger on the bandstand as he did ▓██
██▓ on a nightly basis. The list of sessions that he ▓██
██▓ played on during a golden period of jazz from 1960 ▓██
██▓ to 1965 contains several classic recordings: Art ▓██
██▓ Blakey & The Jazz Messenger's Free For All, Ornette ▓██
██▓ Coleman's Free Jazz, Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch, ▓██
██▓ Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth, John ▓██
██▓ Coltrane's Ascension, Herbie Hancock's Maiden ▓██
██▓ Voyage and Empyrean Isles, Wayne Shorter's Speak No ▓██
██▓ Evil, Max Roach's Drums Unlimited. Add to this ▓██
██▓ prodigious output Hubbard's playing on a string of ▓██
██▓ important Blue Note recordings by the likes of Hank ▓██
██▓ Mobley, Lou Donaldson, Jackie McLean, Dexter ▓██
██▓ Gordon, Tina Brooks, Duke Pearson, Sam Rivers, ▓██
██▓ Bobby Hutcherson and Andrew Hill, along with his ▓██
██▓ own impressive dates as a leader for Blue Note and ▓██
██▓ Atlantic in the '60s and CTI in the '70s, and it's ▓██
██▓ easy to see why Hubbard is regarded today as part ▓██
██▓ of trumpet royalty. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Decades of Herculean trumpet work have taken their ▓██
██▓ toll on Freddie's chops. In late 1992 his top lip ▓██
██▓ popped and later became infected. A biopsy was ▓██
██▓ taken and cancer was ruled out, but Hubbard was ▓██
██▓ left with upper lip tissue so sore he was unable to ▓██
██▓ play with the same slashing attack and killer ▓██
██▓ abandon he was famous for. ôIt's really something ▓██
██▓ when you lose your chops like that, ô says Hubbard. ▓██
██▓ ôYou feel like a motherless child. You can't do it ▓██
██▓ like you used to. But now I'm at that age when I ▓██
██▓ have to think more about what I'm going play ▓██
██▓ instead of just running all over the horn. You ▓██
██▓ gotta play with your soul instead of your chops." ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Hubbard admits there was a time period during the ▓██
██▓ '90s when he was so frustrated that he was ready to ▓██
██▓ give it all up, content to never play trumpet again ▓██
██▓ and just live off his royalties. But he was coaxed ▓██
██▓ back onto the scene by The New Jazz Composer ▓██
██▓ Octet's trumpeter and arranger David Weiss, who ▓██
██▓ gave the jazz elder a new lease on life. ôDavid ▓██
██▓ saved me, man, ô says Hubbard. ôHe really ▓██
██▓ encouraged me to play again. I wanted to give up ▓██
██▓ but David told me, 'There ain't nobody left from ▓██
██▓ your era except you. So you must be here for some ▓██
██▓ reason.' So the cat inspires me to go ahead and do ▓██
██▓ something. He's arranging my music, keeping me ▓██
██▓ alive out here. And he also got me to warm up the ▓██
██▓ horn with long tones before playing it. Back in the ▓██
██▓ day, I used to just pick up it up and start blowing ▓██
██▓ like crazy. But I've learned that the trumpet is ▓██
██▓ like a car in the winter. You can't just jump in it ▓██
██▓ and drive off. You gotta warm it up first." ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Hubbard adds that he's been very encouraged by the ▓██
██▓ response from audiences at his recent gigs with The ▓██
██▓ New Jazz Composers Octet. ôPeople have been showing ▓██
██▓ me a lot of love since I've been back. That makes ▓██
██▓ you want to keep going." Along with hip and ongoing ▓██
██▓ lip problems, Hubbard has also suffered a series of ▓██
██▓ physical setbacks over the years. He's recently had ▓██
██▓ surgery for a pinched nerve in his neck, had a ▓██
██▓ non-cancerous growth taken out of his lung and a ▓██
██▓ few years back suffered congestive heart failure. ▓██
██▓ But he's a survivor. And with The New Jazz ▓██
██▓ Composers Octet in his corner, he's determined to ▓██
██▓ carry on playing. On The Real Side represents ▓██
██▓ another step on the comeback trail for the jazz ▓██
██▓ trumpet great. ▓██
