Freddie Hubbard - Joy Spring free for downloading

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

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

This sounds so good !

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

god , i didn't know Freddie Hubbard before this ... This is actually beautiful !

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.

Such a perfect tune! And don't overlook Harold Land, one of the best tenormen of the era.

of course Freddy use the conga whole time, because he like to add this kinda ambience for the song, and i say it's amazing, yet soulful....and so Freddy Hubbard!

Oh - I'm a drummer an I think the conga's really add to this track, love it man.

One of my all-time favorite tunes, and, as a former trumpet player, you'll never hear it done any better than Freddie, perhaps by others different...but none better!!

The king of Jazz
