* BGP Funk & Jazz Classics returns with another overlooked album from the world of jazz and funk. It comes with its original artwork and brand new sleeve notes. * Freddie Hubbard is a giant of jazz trumpet. He appeared on many important sessions of the 60s as well as making solo albums for Blue Note, Atlantic, CTI and Colombia. In 1980 he won a Grammy for his CTI album "First Light". From the mid-70s he was a crossover jazz specialists, hitting the R&B charts with his fantastic jazz fusion. The 1981 Fantasy album "Splash" was his final excursion into this territory. * Sought after in particular for the collaboration with Jeanie Tracy, `You're Gonna Lose Me', is a big favourite with the modern soul crowd, but the whole album is a great mix of funk, jazz and soul. Other highlights are Freddie's playing on `Mystic Lady' and `Jarri', and the summer-time funk of `Sister Stine'.

making a big splash
FREDDIE HUBBARD, ace trumpet players only album for FANTASY records circa 1981...was without question, his funkiest outing containing the monster slow groover YOUR GONNA LOSE ME in its long version with trumpet & sax break....ESSENTIAL to all funk N jazz headswho love this period of our music ( late seventies early 80s. JEANIE TRACIE provides the sublime vocals on four of the trax, with the other three being instrumentals. SPLASH...is an absolute stonking groover, and SISTER STINE isnt far behind in the funk floor filler stakes.Although only 7 trax, this cd re release is an absolute must buy for collectors of our music....This is a great example of early 80s jazz funk, from a master of his ilk....A well deserved 5 star outing.....ESSENTIAL STUFF.
