Freddie Hubbard • Topsy - Standard Book

     

Standard Book Review by Scott Yanow
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.

Reseña del libro Standard por Scott Yanow
Fue idea del productor que Freddie Hubbard tocara los nueve standards de este CD con una sordina en su trompeta. Hubbard no estaba contento con la restricción, pero hace lo que puede en la sesión de cuarteto/quinteto con el pianista Benny Green, el bajista Rufus Reid, el batería Carl Allen y, en tres números, el contralto Kenny Garrett. Aunque es interesante escuchar a Freddie Hubbard abordar material como «Topsy», «As Time Goes By», «Cherokee» y «Love Me or Leave Me», la música es a menudo más melosa de lo que cabría esperar, incluso cuando está acelerada. Es un disco agradable, pero no esencial, del sello japonés Alfa/Compose.
