Many jazz aficionados boast encyclopedic knowledge of players, recordings and moments of instrumental prowess. This geeking, while impressive, can potentially have a downside when fans overlook the role of many jazz artists as talented composers. With limited exceptions, the songwriting contributions of many celebrated musicians are often ignored or at best unfamiliar to a vast segment of contemporary audiences. In the hope of addressing this situation directly, Posi-Tone is curating its “Blue Moods” releases to highlight the songwriting genius of these under appreciated composers. Force & Grace is our third installment and focuses on the music of Freddie Hubbard. This album gives listeners the opportunity to discover how Hubbard's masterful and melodic musical artistry extends far beyond his role as one of the premier trumpet players of the 20th century.
