LAST LISTENED TO in the past few months
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT not great
RATING
A fine and funky bit of soul jazz from trumpeter Freddie Hubbard in 1973. A very funky cycling bass line anchors the song, with the support of both drums and percussion. Over this both the trumpet and tenor sax solo for extended periods. A light sprinkling of electric piano runs along behind this, somewhere between the rhythm and the solos.
There is not a lot of trumpeters in soul jazz. Most of the soul jazz i am aware of mostly features sax and organ, so it is a treat to hear this track, especially as it is one of the funkiest examples of the genre.
