AMG Review of Best of Freddie Hubbard [Columbia]

All Music Guide

Columbia's Best of Freddie Hubbard contains eight highlights from his soul-jazz, fusion and funk-jazz recordings for CTI Records, including "Lonely Town," "Betcha by Golly, Wow," "The Godfather," "Red Clay," and "Free as a Bird." It's not one of the best periods of Hubbard's career, but this gives a representative portrait of his time at CTI.
