Negative Positive
Title: classic
Review: When everyone in jazz was going fusion or still flying free, Freddie Hubbard went his own direction with Red Clay."Red Clay" the track is a minor blues, cut clean with an amazing theme, and the band digs their heels deep into the dirt of this astounding groove. The second track is a flute display, and all the tracks mine a polished, middle of the road bluesy funk.This album is filled with electric panios, a typical move when even some of the most traditional jazzmen were trying to rockify their music. But Red Clay is no pedistrian affair--these grooves bite under your skin and stay there for life.
