Freddie Hubbard has released him most recent album entitled Sky Dive.
Sky Dive will grab your attention right from the very first note with Povo and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Naturally, which by the way is another great track.
Sky Dive has a nicely varied, mix of 6 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Overall Sky Dive is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Freddie Hubbard's best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - In A Mist, track 6 - Naturally, and track 5 - Sky Dive
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Povo. Outstanding!
