マイミクさんの日記で知った訃報。調べたところ、昨年末、12月28日に心臓発作で死んだらしい。享年70歳。まだ若いな。
映像を一つ。かなり古いが、Art Blakey Jazz Messengersから"Moanin".オーソドックスなトランペッターという印象があるな。MySpace上に寄稿されたハービー・ハンコックのメッセージも載せておこう。
"Freddie Hubbard was, I believe, the greatest jazz trumpet stylists of my generation. His influence is still being felt in the sound of many young trumpeters today. His warm tone and formidable technique will be considered marvels well into the future.
Personally, I was so fortunate in that Freddie played on my very first album as a leader "Takin' Off". He was exactly the person I wanted and his contribution was groundbreaking. On a tune called "One Finger Snap" on a subsequent album of mine, his beginning improvised solo line worked so seamlessly that it became a kind of generic "melody" that most musicians still believe was the composed melody, when in fact it was not.
He and I crossed paths musically in several albums. In the group VSOP he was a founding member who's artistry helped propel that project, which began as a one time tour, to a decade of memorable musical inspirational moments for me.
His legacy is secure in that he played a seminal role of the shaping of the evolution of America's foremost contribution to the musical arts, jazz."
謹んで合掌。Rest in peace.
