Freddie Hubbard - Joy Spring mp3 download

Hard Bop is the best musical genre there is.

Awesome rendition!!!Freddie was a bad man!!!Saw him once with VSOP 1977.RIP Master.

I LOVE the aux drums on this. Gives it this great magical vibe or something. Awesome. Somehow pairs perfectly with the quick turns

I have this album on red vinyl $$

beautiful beautiful beautiful... The Congos add an extra layer of soulfulness that I love... It gets better with time

That’s Buck Clarke on congas. He sounds great and seems to be influenced by the work that Ray Barretto did on those old Blue Note albums. That kind of feel on the congas came to be labeled the “Swing Tumbao.” It’s basically the Tumbao pattern played by the Conga player in Cuban Son Music, which later became “Salsa.” Ray or Patato Valdéz would take that kind of pattern and play Swing 8th notes instead of straight 8ths. I think it makes things Swing really hard. With a really good bassist and drummer, it just burns. Steve Houghton is the drummer on this album. He is just an absolute beast. One of the greatest drummers in Jazz. And Larry Klein on Bass is amazing as well. Billy Childs and Harold Land both brilliant. I love this period of Freddie Hubbard’s career. So energetic and swinging like crazy. Great album.

The king of Jazz

I kept waiting for the conga player to drop out, but he never did...Does he play like that on the whole album?
