Before Street Lights Call Us Home

(A Tribute to Jazz Legend Freddie Hubbard)

By Edward M. Garnes, Jr.

hubbard

we dance barefoot

over red clay

lending jazz hands

to freedom riders

on Coltrane

*****

we dance barefoot

over red clay

pining stolen moments

on cantaloupe islands

before street lights

call us home

–Peep Hubbard’s Title Track from the 1970 Album Red Clay!!
