Tracks list

The first album released posthumously after jazz legend Freddie Hubbards passing
in 2008, the recordings that make up Without a Song: Live in Europe 1969
actually sat in the Blue Note archives for 40 years. Recorded while Hubbard was
touring Europe with producer Sonny Lesters The Jazz Wave on Tour revue, the
album features performances culled from three separate nights -- two in England
and one in Germany. While Hubbard had already released many of his most famous
Blue Note solo albums by 1969, in truth the trumpeter had only started leading
his own full-time touring band around 1966 after leaving Max Roachs ensemble. In
that sense, Without a Song showcases Hubbard in his technical and creative prime
as one of the premiere virtuoso jazz trumpeters of his generation. Backing
Hubbard here are pianist Roland Hanna, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Louis
Hayes, all of whom except for Carter would appear on the trumpeters 1971 studio
effort Hub of Hubbard, which was also recorded while on this tour. Tackling a
handful of standards and two originals in Space Track and Hub-Tones, Hubbard and
his band balance the music deftly on the cusp of swinging hard bop and the
adventurous modal free-bop Hubbard would delve into by the early 70s. While
there are many fine live Hubbard recordings available, few are from this apex of
his career. While that alone could put Without a Song near the top of the list
of live Hubbard albums, ultimately it is the sheer brilliance of Hubbards
playing that makes this essential listening for any Hubbard fan. This is the
Hubbard of jazz lore -- a golden god of the horn with an unceasingly inventive
knack for both melodic simplicity and bold harmonic swagger.
