After leaving his post with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Freddie Hubbard led one of the most adventurous sessions of his career, the remarkable BREAKING POINT. Also of significance here is Hubbard's depth as a composer, as he also penned four of the five stunning pieces on this disc. Hubbard breaks new ground with his playing as well. His edgy tone, relentless drive, and signature chops come together to present a highly individual sound that supports his newfound musical vision. Powerful though he was with Blakey, this session certainly finds Hubbard BREAKING out on his own trail.
The explosive title track's raucous fanfare eventually settles into driving calypso that sports a heated exchange between Hubbard and saxophonist James Spaulding. The modal "Far Away" is a compelling mambo that clearly draws on Hubbard's days with Blakey while pointing out a new direction for the trumpeter. The swinging blues of "Blue Frenzy," BREAKING POINT's most traditional cut, features superior blowing by all. Of special note, Chamber's "Mirrors" is presented here, a classic ballad with magnificent counterpoint work by Hubbard and Spaulding (flute) on the gracefully intertwining melody line. In all, this is a classic session that is not to be missed.
Additional Tracks
Personnel: Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); James Spaulding (flute, alto saxophone); Ronnie Mathews (piano); Eddie Khan (bass instrument); Joe Chambers (drums).
Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather.

Breaking Point
 $8.85  
Of all the talented young trumpeters to emerge in the late 1950s, few were gifted with the astonishing technical aptitude of Indianapolis native Freddie Hubbard. Whereas friend, contemporary and erstwhile rival Lee Morgan seemed to reflect the braggadocio of Dizzy Gillespie, Hubbard was more in tune with the supple airborne phrasing of Clifford Brown, which is why drummer ...

Breaking Point
$8.99
When Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers expanded to a sextet with the addition of Curtis Fuller on trombone, the group took on the character of a small big band propelled by Blakey's forceful drumming. BUHAINA'S DELIGHT, another session in the long line of great Blue Note dates from this period, displays that classic line-up in pristine form. With Freddie Hubbard replacing Lee Morgan, Cedar Walton replacing Bobby ...

"It’s rare for so many wonderful circumstances to come together at the same time. This is a unique work you have in your hands: the epic poetry of Karla Morton combined with the exquisite music of Howard Baer and the haunting photography of Walter Eagleton are combined into a lush, romantic experience. This is a work you will want to listen to all in one sitting. The story, the words, the music will carry you to a place that is all too rare in this world of over-analyzed and non-accessible poetry. This is magic and sensual fog and eternal yearning in the style of Shelley and Byron. This is the perfect complement to a warm evening by the fireplace, wine in hand, love by your side." -Alan Birkelbach, the 2005 Texas Poet LaureateABOUT THE AUTHOR:Karla K. Morton was born in Ft. Worth, Texas and attended Texas A&M University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism. Morton, who now lives in Denton, Texas, has written in many genres as well as in song and poetry...but her main love is poetry. Poetry in all forms. She believes poets have the honour of expressing into words the emotions of life."Poetry," Morton says, "is life's essence...it's simply impossible for me not to write."Morton also is an avid photographer, and has had several showings of her black and white photography in the pre-digital days.karla k. morton is a board member of the Greater Denton Arts Council, and a founding member and board member of the Denton Poet's Assembly, (a part of the Poetry Society of Texas). morton, who has a Journalism degree from Texas A&M University, has been published in Write Around the Corner, the Texas Poetry Calendar, AmarilloBay, Concho River Review, and the upcoming descant 2008, Illya's Honey, Austin International Poetry Anthology and ARDENT. morton is also author of the book/CD titled Wee Cowrin' Timorous Beastie, (a North Texas Book Festival Awards Finalist), which is a unique blend of poetry, story and the original celtic music of the award-winning Canadian composer, Howard Baer. morton loves to promote poetry, and has read her work across Texas, performing her Beastie and other works, at such venues as schools, colleges, bookstores, the Langdon Weekend, the Salado Highland Games, and the North ...
| | Octopus Project Hello, Avalanche CD (2007)
Breaking Point
$11.45
There's a subtle but important difference between music you can dance to and music that makes you want to dance, and Texas indie electronic demons the Octopus Project thankfully understand the distinction. Their third album, Hello, Avalanche, is full to bursting with the friendly beeps and blurps of vintage analog synthesizers and the clatter of drum machines, but while nearly everyone knows how to make a beat these days, the Octopus ...
