Jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard has died.

Grammy-award winning trumpeter Freddie Hubbard has died, following a heart attack the day before Thanksgiving. Freddie Hubbard’s career started in the late 1950′s, and was pretty much continuous but for a lip injury in the 1990′s. In 1992, he developed an infection of his upper lip and there were doubts he would play again. However, he had played more in recent years to favorable reviews. In 2006, the National Endowment for the Arts honored Hubbard with its highest honor in jazz, the NEA Jazz Masters Award.
