Editorial Reviews
In December 1969, Blue Note Records recorded several concerts of the all-star Jazz Wave tour. The resultant double-album included an exquisite version of "Body and Soul" by the Freddie Hubbard Quartet wtih Roland Hanna, Ron Carter, and Louis Hayes. Last year, another hour's worth of great performances was dug up from the Blue Note vaults.
Upon hearing the music found, Freddie Hubbard called it "some of my finest playing ever captured on tape." He became enthusiastically involved in the song selection, mixing, and sequence of Without a Song: Live In Europe 1969, and was poised to help promote its release when complications from a heart attack took his life on December 29, 2008.

Blue Note unearths another gem.,

This review is from: Without A Song: Live In Europe 1969 (Audio CD)
First, Monk & Trane @ Carnegie, then Mingus @ Cornell, now this.
All I can say is, keep 'em coming. In 69', Hubb was brimming with confidence, ideas and youth, but the mostly standards program keeps things in the Milky Way, if not completely grounded on terra firma. The sonics are outstanding with the exception of some drop outs toward the end of Body and Soul. Hubb's tone has never sounded so strong, he was clearly a force of nature.

Freddie at his best!,
This review is from: Without A Song: Live In Europe 1969 (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic album. The energy level is radio-active and the communication between the players is fantastic. It's a real pleasure to just sit back and listen to them converse with each other through their individual musical voices.
5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic quartet performance further enhanced by superior digital remastering,
By Napoleon Solo (Ipanema, San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Without A Song: Live In Europe 1969 (Audio CD)
i love this cd due to the amazing performance not just by Hubbard but also by the entire band.
the tunes were selected such that every member in the quartet had the opportunity to "shine". the digital remaster added great quality to the original recording as you can hear the acoustic much better, more defined. btw, there is no electronic element involved. this is acoustic jazz at its best.
