Synopsis

Album Description

In December 1969, Blue Note Records recorded several concerts of the all-star Jazz Wave tour. The resultant double-album included an exquisite version of "Body and Soul" by the Freddie Hubbard Quartet wtih Roland Hanna, Ron Carter, and Louis Hayes. Last year, another hour's worth of great performances was dug up from the Blue Note vaults. Upon hearing the music found, Freddie Hubbard called it "some of my finest playing ever captured on tape." He became enthusiastically involved in the song selection, mixing, and sequence of Without a Song: Live In Europe 1969, and was poised to help promote its release when complications from a heart attack took his life on December 29, 2008.

CD Reviews

Compared to 'Hub of Hubbard'

Robert Wade Cottingham | Dallas, TX | 07/02/2009

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This little review will probably help about six shoppers in the world,

but here's my experience ... 'The Hub of Hubbard', a studio album made around the same time as this live album 'Without a Song', is one of my top ten jazz albums. It is so burning and tight, and features Eddie Daniels on tenor as the other horn. Also, since it was on the MPS label, it sounded superb.

So, I was eager to hear this live concert with my hero Roland Hanna and the same drummer as 'Hub of Hubbard'. But, COMPARED TO 'The Hub of Hubbard', this album is a drag. It has all the pitfalls of a live album that remained unreleased for years: The mix is good but not great, and the set sounds kind of like 'just another night on the road'. There's a reason it was not rushed to press back when it was recorded.

If you love Freddie Hubbard, and love to hear everything he did, it's great.

But 'The Hub of Hubbard' is a much hotter, jazzier recording."

Blue Note unearths another gem.

"First, Monk & Trane @ Carnegie, then Mingus @ Cornell, now this.

All I can say is, keep 'em coming. In 69', Hubb was brimming with confidence, ideas and youth, but the mostly standards program keeps things in the Milky Way, if not completely grounded on terra firma. The sonics are outstanding with the exception of some drop outs toward the end of Body and Soul. Hubb's tone has never sounded so strong, he was clearly a force of nature."

Amazing Freddie live recording !

"Just listened to it for the first time. Freddie truly delivers here and is at his peak ! Every track is amazing and rhythm section is great as well. This is a must have addition for any trumpet player or collector who loves Freddie Hubbard ! Rest in Peace Freddie and blow that trumpet together with Angels in Heaven."
