THE BADDEST HUBBARD, a one-off compilation from 1975, selects four lengthy tracks from four CTI Freddie Hubbard albums of the '70s. This was the age of prime fusion but there is nothing pandering or pumped-up about these cuts. On the contrary, the ambitious Creed Taylor production on RED CLAY and FIRST LIGHT gave Hubbard a chance to leave the Blue Note-era hard bop for good and experiment with some new sounds in a commercially rewarding context. While perhaps not on a level with Gil Evans's collaborations with Miles Davis, the Don Sebesky scoring on a track like "In A Mist" (not the Bix Beiderbecke composition) is advanced and light-textured. Whoever originally compiled THE BADDEST HUBBARD strove to highlight the man's artistry and they succeeded on this deceptively unassuming LP.
