This was my introduction to Freddie Hubbard as a young teenager. I was listening to WHAT-FM the jazz station in Philly, and I was in my father’s room—I remember that exact point in time in my life clearly because of his performance. From the very first declarative phrase of this classic solo he had a style all his own, not only an instantly recognizable sound and vibrato, but also the angularity of his solo, the way he used dynamics in it and laid back in the time caught my ear immediately. I could tell he listened to saxophonists, and when he ran up and down that Dmin7 chord I was simply amazed.
