Bythetimehegraduatedfromhighschool,Troyhadalreadyembarkedonthemusicaljourneythathascometodefinehislife:“When I decided to do it, I really dedicated myself to it. People warnedmehowroughitwasgoingtobe,andIknewitwouldbe.Nothing’seasy.ButI’veneverthoughtofdoinganythingelse.” Flashinghisseeminglyeverpresentanddisarmingsmile,hesaysfrankly that he’s never had a lot of money, but he’s been blessed to be wealthy with friends and memories.

When he speaks of his influences, he talks about local musicians in the same breath as nationally-known artists. A partial listincludeslocalmusiciansBigJonRochner, Tommy Stillwell, Terry Sartor, Butch Embry and Little Jack

Little – all spoken of with the samehighregardasGrandpa

Jones, Roy Acuff, MerleHaggard,Leon Redbone, John Prine, Kris

Kristofferson, and Woody and

Arlo Guthrie. And his thirstforknowledgeofmusical history has led to

a collection of thousands of tapes, albums, old 78s and 45s, as well as books and DVDs. One day,Troy would liketo teach amusic appreciation class. “I’ve made my whole life a study of music, and I think I can help people understand why it’s cool,”hesays.“Youknow,yougrowup–getbeatup–getyourheartbrokeafewtimes,loseeverything,andyoustarttorealizethere’smoretoit.Puttingitdowninmusicreleases stress, and people like musictheycanidentifywith.” Troy has also been a supporter of News 4U “since day one,”saying,“Ibelievethemagazineisanimportantpublication

Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio inEnglewoodCliffs,NewJerseyinJanuary, 1970, Red Clay would prove tobethesignaturerecordingforHubbard. The effect it would have onagenerationoftrumpetplayerswould be immeasurable Red Clay was also the first release for Creed Taylor, which would lay a foundation for CTI Records. CTI, in its brief history as a label, was on the cusp ofthetransitioninjazzbetweenthe bop era and that of the more commercially acceptable music most have listened to for the last several decades. The evidence of this is seen inthepopularityofsmoothjazztoday.OneofthethingsthatCTIwasknown for was its distinctive album sleevedesigns,somefeaturingthephotographyofPeterTurner.

The rest of the lineup included Joe Henderson (tenor sax, flute), Herbie Hancock (electric piano, organ),RonCarter(bass,electric bass), and a little-known twenty year old named Lenny White on

drums. The reissue of Red Clay in 2002, and for the 40th anniversary reissue in 2010, had a live cut of the title track (6) which was recorded in 1971 and runs a little shy of nineteen minutes.This“live”cutfeaturesHubbard, Stanley Turrentine, John HammondSmith,GeorgeBenson,andRonCarter;withBillyCobhamon drums and Airto Moreiraon percussion. In the liners note for the album, it states that Red Clay is “.... anexceptionalsetofplugged-inhardbopfusedwithfunk.”Thiswouldbean apt description, even 40 years after its release. The title cut, which is my favorite, blasts the listener with a wakeup call that seems to be in style withallthatwashappeningin1970.WoodstockhadcomeandgoneandtheVietnamWarwaswearingthinon the consciousness of not only the American public but on that of the entireglobe.Fusionwascomingofage,withtheworkthatMilesDaviswasproducing.HerbieHancock,JohnMcLaughlin,WeatherReport,andReturntoForeverwerewaitinginthewings,readytogeneratesomeofthebestjazzattheendofthe20th Century.
