Backlash is a 1967 album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, his first released on the Atlantic label. It features performances by Hubbard, James Spaulding, Albert Dailey, Bob Cunningham, Otis Ray Appleton and Ray Barretto.
Hubbard invokes a bluesy reverie as Spaulding (on flute) adds texture to the jam. There is a slight touch of atonal play and a tempo uptick, underscoring the versatility of Hubbard’s musical vision. Speakers Corner Records has done an excellent job in re-mastering Backlash to 180-gram vinyl.
It's the lovely melody that everyone seems to have grasped onto, but there's so much else at work distinguishing this initial rendition: the symbiosis of Ray Baretto's calypso beat and Bob Cunningham's rock-steady bass line, the fluttering flute embellishments of James Spaulding, and the edgy, expressive piano runs of Albert Dailey.
