Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Sky Dive gets. Sky Dive simply stated is one of Freddie Hubbard's best CDs to date.
Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Sky Dive. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Sky Dive is a nicely varied, mix of 6 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Listen to Sky Dive and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Freddie Hubbard is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - In A Mist, track 6 - Naturally, and track 5 - Sky Dive
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Povo. This is a great track!
