Background notes
Archive material and source history
Freddie Hubbard was born in Indianapolis in 1938 and started playing trumpet at age 11. He became known for a fluid, lyrical approach to the instrument that worked across different styles of jazz.
He recorded albums like 'Red Clay' in 1970 and 'Straight Life' in 1971, and played with musicians including Art Blakey and Herbie Hancock. One of his compositions, 'Little Sunflower' from 1966, became a standard in the jazz repertoire.
Hubbard's later years were affected by health problems, but he kept performing and recording. His playing on 'Little Sunflower' and other tracks shows why he remained a respected figure among trumpet players.
