Freddie Hubbard
Freddie Hubbard (1938-2008) was an American jazz trumpeter from Indianapolis who moved to New York in 1958 and worked mainly in hard bop and post-bop. He led sessions for Blue Note, Atlantic and CTI, joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in 1961, and appeared on many central records of 1960s jazz, from Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz to Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage.
