On "The Night of the Cookers", Freddie Hubbard plays with Lee Morgan, James Spaulding, Harold Mabern, Jr., Larry Ridley, Pete LaRoca and Big Black. Recorded on April 9 & 10, 1965 and released that same year, the album has been described as "one of the most compelling documents of a live band in full flight" (Maxwell Chandler, Jazz Police).

Over the course of his nearly five decade career, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard established himself as one of the most versatile and inventive jazz musicians of the twentieth century. The Grammy-winning virtuoso appeared on some of the most important albums in the genre, including seminal works by Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, John Coltrane, and countless others. The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard, his fifth album for Impulse!, is a spellbinding piece of jazz history. Hubbard’s molten lines are augmented by the trombone work of the legendary Curtis Fuller and tenor saxophonist John Gilmore of the Sun Ra Archestra. One of the all-time great jazz records.

Freddie Hubbard got a bad rap from jazz critics while at Columbia – most absolutely hated the music he made there because it indulged pop, soul, funk, and even disco abundantly. He got the last laugh, though. The critics were wrong. Great Britain's BGO offers proof in this two-disc set that contains Hubbard's first three Columbia albums from the mid-'70s: High Energy (1974), the provocatively titled Liquid Love (1975), and Windjammer (1976). Hubbard employed his own quintet on High Energy (something he couldn't do previously at CTI), which was comprised of Junior Cook, George Cables, Kent Brinkley, and Ralph Penland.

Frederick Dewayne Hubbard (April 7, 1938 – December 29, 2008) was an American jazz trumpeter.

"Life Flight" is a later album by Freddie Hubbard and was recorded in 1987, when the trumpeter was 48 years old. Still in peak form, the album is an excellent example of Hubbard's musicianship and mastery of his instrument. Recorded in New York City in 1987 with two different bands, a sextet and a quartet. Among the notable members of the sextet on the first two tracks are Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone and George Benson on guitar. Ralph Moore handles tenor sax duties on the quartet tracks, both Freddie Hubbard originals. This album has been called one of Hubbard's last great releases.
