Freddie Hubbard, 1938-2008

Sirius/XM Real Jazz (channel 72) played the title cut of this 1972 Grammy-winning album this afternoon, shortly after the announcement of Hubbard's death. A stunning piece of music! (Every once in awhile, the Grammys get it right.)

But this October 1972 release, Sky Dive, is my all-time favorite of his. I never tire of listening to it.
