| Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it | | | | "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Soul Surge. What a |
| seems like the more I listen to it, the better Blue Spirits | | | | nice track! |
| gets. Blue Spirits simply put is one of Freddie Hubbard's | | | | Blue Spirits Release Notes: |
| best CDs to date. | | | | Freddie Hubbard originally released Blue Spirits on |
| I wish it wasn't the case, but it's not everyday that I get | | | | August 10, 2004 on the Blue Note Records label. |
| a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| comfortably listen to from beginning to end.There is | | | | 1. Soul Surge |
| usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to | | | | 2. Blue Spirits |
| get through. Not at all the case with Blue Spirits. Every | | | | 3. Outer Forces |
| track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to | | | | 4. Cunga Black |
| listen to from start to finish. | | | | 5. Jodo |
| One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this | | | | 6. Melting Pot, The - (Bonus Track) |
| level of talent even if Jazz isn't your favorite style you | | | | 7. True Colors - (Bonus Track) |
| still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist. | | | | Personnel: Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Hosea Taylor |
| Listen to Blue Spirits and I believe you'll find there's not | | | | (bassoon); James Spaulding (alto saxophone); Hank |
| much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the | | | | Mobley, Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Kiane |
| production is simply outstanding, and Freddie Hubbard is | | | | Zavadi (euphonium); Herbie Hancock (piano, celesta); |
| clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even | | | | Harold Mabern, McCoy Tyner (piano); Larry Ridley, |
| mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album. | | | | Reggie Workman (bass instrument); Clifford Jarvis, |
| While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout | | | | Elvin Jones, Pete La Roca (drums); Big Black (congas). |
| tunes are track 2 - Blue Spirits, track 3 - Outer Forces, | | | | Recording information: Van Gelder Studios, Englewood, |
| and track 7 - True Colors. | | | | NJ (02/19/1965 - 03/05/1966). |
