Freddie Hubbard Dies at Age 70

Hubbard (born Frederick DeWayne Hubbard in Indianapolis on April 7, 1938) was the youngest of six children in a musical household and first played the tonette and then the mellophone. Moving to New York City in 1958, when he was 20, Hubbard quickly became known as one of the important new jazz arrivals. In the early '70s, his career well-established, he moved to Los Angeles, settling in the San Fernando Valley. He received a Jazz Masters Award from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2006. Hubbard is survived by his wife, Briggie, and his son, Duane. Funeral services are pending. A memorial tribute in New York will be planned in the New Year.
