Freddie Hubbard entered Creed Taylors studio for the third time in 1971 with the express purpose of making a record radically different from anything hed cut before; he was looking for it to use electricity and to be out of the soul-jazz mold, but was also more ambitious and wanted to push that envelope and himself. Taylor and Hubbard assembled a band that included Herbie Hancock, Eric Gale, George Benson, Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, Airto Moreira, and Richard Wyands. The album is part of a loose trilogy including his two previous records, Red Clay and Straight Life. Now available in its essential form, First Light was mastered from original analog tapes and pressed on 180gram audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas.

"The result is a masterpiece of textured sound, gorgeously far-flung charts, sweet, tight grooves, a subtle mystic feel, and some of Hubbard's most exciting playing ever." -Thom Jurek, allmusic.com
