Info for Keep Your Soul Together (2023 Remaster)
"Keep Your Soul Together" is an album recorded in 1973 by jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. It was his fifth studio album released on Creed Taylor's CTI label, and features performances by Hubbard, Junior Cook, George Cables, Aurell Ray, Kent Brinkley, Ron Carter, Ralph Penland and Juno Lewis.
This record is a sweet little gem that came towards the end of Freddie Hubbard's time with CTI Records (it would be the second to last studio album he would cut for the label). It tends to get overlooked in the trumpeter's CTI discography, as his earlier electric jazz outings for Creed Taylor's imprint are generally the one's that get the most attention. This is not surprising, as Red Clay, Straight Life and First Light are all stone cold classics, but I like to think that without much fanfare Hubbard was hitting all the right notes towards the end of his time with the label. Keep Your Soul Together is full of everything there is to love about the best of the electric jazz that was taking over the genre in the early 1970's, it has moments of spacious beauty as well as that inventive full-tilt jamming that kept the music funky and creative.
"Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard's CTI recordings have long been underrated and a bit downgraded by writers who get them confused with his much commercial output for Columbia. For this album Hubbard is heard in fine form on four of his originals (highlighted by "Spirits of Trane") with a septet that includes tenor-saxophonist Junior Cook, keyboardist George Cables, guitarist Aurell Ray, either Kent Brinkley or Ron Carter on bass, drummer Ralph Penland and Juno Lewis on percussion. The music is sometimes funky but definitely creative jazz with Hubbard heard during his prime period." (Scott Yanow, AMG)
