12.31.08 Jazz musician Freddie Hubbard dies aged 70 Freddie Hubbard, the Grammy-winning jazz musician whose blazing virtuosity influenced generations of trumpet players and who collaborated with such greats as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, died a month after suffering a heart attack at the age of 70. Hubbard died at Sherman Oaks Hospital in Los Angeles and had been in hospital since suffering the heart attack on November 26. A towering figure in jazz circles, Hubbard played on literally hundreds of recordings in a career dating to 1958, the year he arrived in New York City from his hometown of Indianapolis. Soon he had hooked up with such jazz legends as Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, Rollins, Coltrane and others. Frederick Dewayne Hubbard was born in Indianapolis on April 7, 1938. He grew up playing mellophone, trumpet and French horn. In 2006, he was named a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, the nation's highest jazz honour. Hubbard is survived by his wife of 35 years, Briggie Hubbard, and his son, Duane. Freddie Hubbard - Hubtones From the 1987 Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival - with James Spaulding, alto sax; Renee Rosnes, piano; Kenny Davis, bass; Ralph Peterson, drums. Check out the first few choruses of Freddie's solo, the rhythm section is all over the place on the form and Freddie vibes the hell out of them! It's hilarious... Poor Renee is the last one back on track, he shoots her a glare that could shatter glass. To quote the man himself, "It's not that easy to play with Freddie Hubbard... ain't that hard either!" | ||||
