Bob James. From start to finish it's a Jazz ROTUNDA!
A MUST HAVE!

Freddie's final CTI album.......2004-07-14

I'm not sure what the story is behind this album, but it seems to be a collection of tunes thrown together from different sessions over Freddie Hubbard's time at CTI. The title track (a.k.a "Fantasy in D") was previously issued on the domestic CD release of FIRST LIGHT. The personnel change from cut to cut, but remain top drawer. Along with the always reliable Ron Carter holding down the low end, George Benson and Hubert Laws make their presence felt throughout. Don Sebesky and Bob James, the two resident arrangers during the label's heyday, offer mid-tempo charts with ample room to stretch out. Freddie, who left CTI around the time this album was released, plays consistently well, but sounds curiously restrained - a few ridiculously high notes and runs, but nothing like the fire and fury exhibited on RED CLAY or his earlier Blue Note sessions. Here, he offers fine, mellow renditions of "People Make the World Go Round" and "Betcha By Golly Wow", two tunes made famous by the Stylistics a few years before. From a purely jazz standpoint, it's "Son of Skydive" which really gives his talented band a chance to dig in. Overall, a solid effort, but be sure to buy RED CLAY and SKYDIVE first. The Japanese import version of this CD features a sweet mini-gatefold sleeve and original artwork. Decent mastering job - some hiss, but lows sound tight and highs, especially cymbals, sound crisper than previous CD issues of CTI sessions.
