A belated birthday tribute to the late great jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard on Jazz From Blue Lake tonight features a previously unissued recording of his 1967 working band at The Blue Morocco in the Bronx. With pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Herbie Lewis and drummer Freddie Waits, Hubbard is joined in the front-line by Detroit tenor saxophonist Bennie Maupin in a program of challenging Hubbard originals including "Crisis" and "Breaking Point," extended interpretations of standards "Bye, Bye Blackbird" and "Summertime," as well as his lovely waltz "Up Jumped Spring." Join us on 88.9 FM in Grand Rapids, 90.3 FM across west Michigan, here on line and tomorrow on our jazz stream.
