Description
The start of the new "Live At Fabrik Hamburg" series on Jazzline in cooperation with the legendary venue and NDR Kultur - is this previously unreleased concert from jazz greats Freddie Hubbard and McCoy Tyner from 1986. It will be released as a double CD in a three-part digipak and as a triple LP in a triple gatefold cover that includes detailed Liner notes by Michael Laages.
In the Altonaer Fabrik in 1986, the master trumpeter Freddie Hubbard was a guest in the trio of one of the most important pianists of contemporary jazz: McCoy Tyner, whose extremely powerful attack always added percussive power of the most energetic kind to his virtuoso playing.
McCoy Tyner died in March 2020, the recording from 1986 (he was 58 years old at the time) show him at the height of the unmistakable jazz expression that defined him. His piano and the enormous radiance of the Hubbard trumpet (born in the same year as Tyner in 1938, but died in 2008) are the outstanding protagonists. But the recording also features bassist Avery Sharpe, born in 1954 and with excellent acoustic and electrical credentials, as well as Louis Hayes, still today the most indestructible of all modern drummers at well over 80 years of age. Together they refine the nine titles of this two-hour concert on this truly remarkable evening of music!
