Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay Freddie Hubbard

Freddie Hubbard's fusion jazz of Red Clay is something that the younger generations within jazz and hip hop admire and aspire to. The title track "Red Clay" was sampled by both A Tribe Called Quest on "Jazz (We've Got)" and Freestyle Fellowship in "Parkbench People", only to be covered by today's new vocal jazz singer José James. It would take half a day to explain the intricacies of a song like "The Intrepid Fox".

Red Clay seamlessly blends bop with soul jazz and fusion in a way that will remain unsurpassed for a long time. It was included in included in Tom Moon's book "1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die".

It is available on 180 gram black vinyl hosued in a gatefold sleeve
