Freddie Hubbard Blue Spirits Jazz Music CD Review
Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Blue Spirits gets. Blue Spirits simply put is one of Freddie Hubbard’s best CDs to date.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Blue Spirits. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Jazz isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Listen to Blue Spirits and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Freddie Hubbard is clearly in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Blue Spirits, track 3 – Outer Forces, and track 7 – True Colors.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Soul Surge. What a nice track!
