Freddie Hubbard — Topsy: Standard Book (Full Album)

Tracklist 0:00 Topsy 5:17 Caravan 16:04 As Time Goes By 22:10 Cherokee 27:52 Black Orpheus 34:17 Love Me or Leave Me 42:08 All of You 48:16 Golden Earrings 55:01 Lament for Booker personnel : Freddie Hubbard: trumpet Kenny Garrett: alto saxophone, flute Benny Green: piano Rufus Reid: bass Carl Allen: drums "It was the producer's idea that Freddie Hubbard play all of the nine standards on this CD with a mute in his trumpet. Hubbard was not happy with the restriction, but does his best on the quartet/quintet session with pianist Benny Green, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Carl Allen and, on three numbers, altoist Kenny Garrett. While it is interesting to hear Freddie Hubbard tackle such material as "Topsy," "As Time Goes By," "Cherokee" and "Love Me or Leave Me," the music is often more mellow than one might hope, even when uptempo. It's a pleasing but not essential release from the Japanese label Alfa/Compose." -- Scott Yanow **IMPORTANT** If you are a copyright holder that would like something removed from my channel please message me on YouTube or email me directly, & I usually respond within minutes.
