Hub's Express

Hub's Express was written for jazz trumpet great Freddie Hubbard. Richard met Freddie when he came to Harford in 1993: they have been in touch with each other ever since. "Freddie and I talk on the phone alot - he has always been one of my hereos. Freddie has given me a lot of advice. I've played on the phone for him many times." After a few years of these "phone lessons" as well as a visit to Freddie's studio in Hollywood, Freddie recommended that Richard seek out Dr. Donald Byrd. "Freddie told me that my playing was going in another direction, and he felt Donald could really guide me." So with a recommendation from from Freddie, Richard began his private studies with Byrd.
