Freddie Hubbard's creative trajectory through the 1960s and '70s was both erratic and interesting. After a string of superb albums in the hard-bop vein for Blue Note, he moved to CTI in the early '70s, where he turned in some excellent fusion dates (STRAIGHT LIFE, for example, is a must-have). After signing to Columbia, however, Hubbard began cutting jazz-pop crossover albums not at all in keeping with his impressive legacy. 1978's SUPER BLUE found Hubbard returning to the electric fusion fold with saxophonist Joe Henderson, flutist Hubert Laws, and other top-string personnel. The album is a solid effort, with some outstanding playing, and stands head and shoulders above everything else he did in the mid-to-late '70s. Freddie Hubbard Super Blue Songs | 1. | Super Blue | |

Super Blue Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  finally
I have been searching for this for a long time. I also like the "electric" music of the day. I enjoyed ahmad jamal's "children of the night" which was also next to impossible to find. Finally....

I've been looking for this album for 15 years and now that it has been re-issued I can relive the music of my early adulthood. The title track is one of the most FUNKY, soulful and innovative songs of the Jazz genre. I put this tune in the same class as Lou Donaldson's 'Donkey Walk' from his 1969 album 'Everthing I Play is Funky'.

 Finally!!!
Freddie Hubbard is one of the top 5 trumpeters ever. That being said, it's ridiculous that Columbia has, pretty much, refused to re-issue Hubbard's 70's fusion work. Jazz purists always try to discredit many artists electric, commercial and experimental work. It's just not right! Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. 'Super Blue' was always one of my personal favorites. The title track and, a stellar version of, Gino Vannelli's 'The Surest Things Can Change' are the highlights in an album with no lowlights! This album is a return to more traditional and acoustic stylings, and is probably the best of the era, but that doesn't mean we should'nt have the chance to appreciate 'Bundle Of Joy', 'Windjammer', 'Liquid Love', 'Skagly', and 'The Love Connection'.

Super Blue music CDs
$17.75
Raven presents the very best of Solomon Burke's recordings for MGM in the 1970s, many on CD for the first time. A pioneering soul singer, Burke's powerful voice and fervent emotionality were much-admired through the 1960s. At MGM, with arranger Gene Page, Solomon deftly crafted a commercial and contemporary sound - both urban pop ballads and rhythmic hymns to black empowerment, all framed around his impassioned voice. Using fractured, multi-layered background vocals (a la Marvin Gaye), and deep vocals not unlike Barry White, Burke created, over three albums, some of his most powerful, distinctive and important work. This 22-track compilation culls the essence of Burke's MGM albums and includes three rare non-LP tracks.
Raven's That's Heavy Baby gathers 22 Solomon Burke rarities he recorded for MGM between 1971 and 1973, following his career-defining soul hits for Atlantic in the '60s. During ...
| | Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Super Blue songs
$87.89  
Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future ...

Super Blue album
$13.75
On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Super Blue CD music
$17.79
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits is a bit closer to gritty deep soul thanks to a slow-burning cover of Dobie Gray's country-soul classic "Drift Away," the gospel-fied "That's My Purpose," a churning, funky reworking of "You Are My Sunshine," and, of course, the hard-driving title track, which ...
| | Sunny Sumter Sunny CD (1998) (Import)
Super Blue music CDs
$16.49
Recorded from November to December 1998. Includes liner notes by Pierre Sprey.
Another entry in the already well-populated field of good, young singers is Washington, D.C. based Sunny Sumter. Her second album, but first for Maryland's Mapleshade Records, includes a play list designed to take advantage of Sumter's seductive, soulful and supple voice, with the emphasis on soulful. The somber mood is established from the outset by Sumter's own "Nick of Time," about a conversation taking place in Washington, D.C. with references to unhappy, escapist excursions to the Jefferson Memorial, the White House and other D.C. landmarks. What makes this tune work is the Keter Betts jagged bass beat supporting Sumter. Even the usual ebullient Stevie Wonder is represented on the album by a very pensive, chamber music rendition of his "Overjoyed." Budd Johnson's venerable swing tune "Save Your Love for Me," in the hands of Ms Sumter and her confreres, turns out to be one of the most soulful tunes on the CD. There's a break in the overcast musical weather with an upbeat, swinging version of "The Best Is Yet to Come" brought to life by Jimmy Cobb's brush work. Ms Sumter can swing and the failure to include some more bouncy arrangements is puzzling. Sumter's voice becomes less soulful on the Duke Ellington-Billy Strayhorn masterpiece "Daydream." With just Larry Willis' piano and Keter Betts bass in support, she delivers a very cool, but thoughtful handling of this fine melody. Betts solo on this cut is one of the masterful moments on the album. Sumter renders "Detour Ahead" and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" in a chamber music setting with the string quintet. Sumter's supporting cast is ...
