Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay [LP]

Release Date: August 28, 2026
Label: Music on Vinyl
Gatefold 180-gram black vinyl. Freddie Hubbard's fusion jazz of Red Clay is something that the younger generations within jazz and hip hop admire and aspire to. The title track "Red Clay" was sampled by both A Tribe Called Quest on "Jazz (We've Got)" and Freestyle Fellowship in "Parkbench People", only to be covered by today's new vocal jazz singer José James. It would take half a day to explain the intricacies of a song like "The Intrepid Fox". Red Clay seamlessly blends bop with soul jazz and fusion in a way that will remain unsurpassed for a long time.
