Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Freddie Hubbard
Song:Birdlike
Album:The Artist Selects



Freddie Hubbard is one of the all time great jazz trumpeters and has been heavily influenced by Clifford Brown. He became very popular as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the late 50s and started recording as a leader for Blue Note in the early 60s. The Artist Selects is a 2005 collection of his Blue Note recordings selected by Hubbard himself. It is probably a very good introduction to his music and is recommended to those who are not familiar with his music.
