MILESTONES: 50th Anniversary of Freddie Hubbard's Straight Life

Critically-acclaimed trumpeter and newly published author, Jeremy Pelt, joins Angélika Beener to discuss Freddie Hubbard's 1971 release Straight Life, from the CTI label. Together they discuss the state of the music at the top of the 1970s, and how Hubbard's under-explored yet highly influential release would shape things to come for trumpeters and jazz music as a whole.

Milestones theme produced by Riley K. Glasper
