Freddie Hubbard
Open Sesame was the first album Freddie Hubbard
(1938-2008) made as a leader. Before that LP,
however, he had participated on many albums as
a sideman beginning with his debut recording on
The Montgomery Brothers and Five Others, taped
in his home town of Indianapolis on December
30, 1957. Open Sesame was the trumpeter’s first
project with pianist McCoy Tyner, who during the
same month would perform his first gig ever with
the John Coltrane Quartet (at the Jazz Gallery,
in New York). It was also the first collaborative
recording between Hubbard and saxophonist
Tina Brooks, who would only record together on
one other occasion, for Tina’s own album True
Blue, recorded less than a week later on June 25,
1960. Even though many of his previous works as
a sideman were important, Open Sesame marked
the beginning of Hubbard’s career as his own man,
and helped him to overcome his major influences
and establish his own musical voice.
