About this album

Super Blue is a strong late-’70s Freddie Hubbard album that balances jazz-funk groove with the trumpeter’s hard-bop authority. Released in 1978, it finds Hubbard working in a more contemporary electric setting without losing the bright tone, speed and melodic force that made him one of jazz’s defining trumpet voices. The title track and pieces like Take It to the Ozone point to the set’s rhythmic drive, while the album’s blend of funk, post-bop and contemporary jazz reflects Hubbard’s ability to keep evolving with the era. It stands as a lively example of his crossover period and his enduring command of the instrument.
