Blue Moods - Force & Grace (2025) "Blue Moods' Force & Grace is the third in a series of Posi-Tone releases in which music of under-recognized jazz composers is given a fair shake by bands comprised of some of the label's leading lights. This time around, the group features 12 compositions by Freddie Hubbard, a figure revered for his prowess as a trumpeter, to the neglect of his talent as a writer. The material receives straightforward no-frills treatments, making it easier to savor Hubbard's penchant for writing catchy lines that simultaneously encourage bodily movement and give pause for thought. To the credit of everyone involved, this does not feel like a tribute record. The performances are too robust, articulate and self-assured to encourage nostalgia about Hubbard's considerable contributions to jazz. The absence of a trumpet, a wise move on the part of producer Marc Free, also eliminates the distraction of inevitable comparisons to Hubbard's expertise on the instrument." ~ John Kelman - AllAboutJazz.com
